The lecture at the event “Low Temperature Plasma Processing of Materials for Cancer Treatment” is an insight into the revolutionary possibilities of plasma technology in the medical field and controlled drug delivery systems involving plasma-treated liquids at low temperature and atmospheric pressure.
Low-temperature plasma discharges are frequently investigated by the scientific world for their major potential as a possible method of cancer treatment.
Liquids with a different chemical composition (Ringer lactate and acetate, chitosan, cyclodextrin), treated with plasma at atmospheric pressure, were tested on cell cultures and the results showed a selective cytotoxic effect, with only cancer cells being destroyed, normal cells being unaffected.
Such studies are of major interest to the international medical community, opening new avenues for non-invasive cancer treatments.
