Effect of Plasma-Activated Lactated Ringer’s Solution on Pancreatic Cancer Cells In Vitro and In Vivo

Background The medical applications of nonequilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma in cancer therapy have attracted attention. We previously reported on the antitumor effect of plasma-activated medium. However, this approach requires plasma-activated liquids that are administrable to the human body. In this study, we produced plasma-activated lactated Ringer’s solution (PAL) and evaluated its antitumor effect and mechanism. Furthermore, we evaluated the effect of the intraperitoneal administration of PAL using a peritoneal dissemination mouse tumor model.
