Cancer treatment

Within the framework of basic research on plasma-cell interactions and in the translational tumor model, it was shown that cancer cells can also be killed with cold atmospheric-pressure plasma. An important goal of current research activities is to exploit this potential in the context of cancer treatment, e.g. in combination with surgical, pharmacological or immunomodulating therapeutic approaches. However, the current status of preclinical and clinical research does not yet allow the use of plasma in cancer therapy beyond special palliative applications.
