Abstract:
Gas plasma is a partially ionized gas operated at body temperature, expelling various reactive oxygen species (ROS) in chorus. While the technology's anticancer potential is generally appreciated, exciting progress in experimental gas plasma therapy for breast cancer has been made recently, particularly in empowering anticancer immunity.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
