Effects of atmospheric low temperature plasma on the rat model of colorectal cancer

Abstract

　Therapeutic endoscopy or surgical removal is possible up to stage T1, however, surgical treatment is no longer possible as cancer progresses, thus the prognosis is poor. There is an urgent need to develop new therapies to target advanced cancer or inhibit cancer progression. Several treatment methods for cancer currently exist, and in recent years, "plasma medicine" which uses plasma directly or indirectly, has been attracting attention. In this paper, we evaluate the use of Plasma Treated Saline (PTS) generation to study the therapeutic application of plasma to colorectal cancer.
