Potential of plasma based soft and/or combined cancer treatments
Résumé
The antitumoreffect of NTP is now well established while clearly far from being understood. It is particularly striking to notice that this effect is observed almost whatever the plasma used and the treatment conditions. This led us to adopt a new strategy, using immuno-competent murine model, based on treatment under very soft conditions, combined or not with other treatments. This work underlines the potential role of the modification of the tumor microenvironment and the possible changes of the biological responses while questioning the role of the generated pulsed electric field.
