Atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJ) are investigated as an efficient approach to induce antitumor effects of cancerous tissues without inducing any damage (e.g. dessication, burnings). For this, a two-steps methodology has been developed where first APPJ are calibrated and characterized on targets mimicking electrical properties of living organisms (mice, human body) and second where they are applied on murine models to demonstrate their innocuity and therapeutic efficiency.
