Abstract
A method and system of adaptive cold atmospheric based treatment for diseased tissues, such as an area with cancerous cells, is disclosed. A gas such as helium is ionized via supplying power between and anode and a cathode to create an initial cold atmospheric plasma jet. The initial plasma jet is directed toward the area for a sufficient time, such as 10 seconds, to sensitize the cells via a reactive species. A reactive treatment, such as H2O2 or TMZ, is directed to the sensitized cells. The effectiveness of the reactive treatment is increased by the process of sensitizing the cells.
