Determination of Immediate Kinetic Growth Retardation in Physically Plasma-treated Cells by Experimental and Modelling Data.

Background/aim: The antiproliferative effects of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) make it a promising application option in oncology. The aim of the present study was to examine whether short-term CAP treatment leads to an initial partial elimination of the treated cells or to long-term impairement and inhibition of cell growth.

Materials And Methods: Cells were treated with CAP and biostatistical modelling was used to estimate growth rates over the incubation time.
