Plasma is an ionized gas that is typically formed under high-temperature laboratory conditions. Recent progress in atmospheric plasmas has led to cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) devices with ion temperatures close to room temperature. The unique chemical and physical properties of CAP have led to its use in various biomedical applications including cancer therapy. CAP exhibits a spontaneous transition from a spatially homogeneous state to a modifiable pattern that is subject to self-organization. In this Opinion article, we discuss some new applications for plasma in cancer therapy based on plasma self-organization, which enables adaptive features in plasma-based therapeutic systems.
等离子体是一种在高温实验室条件下通常形成的离子化气体。近年来，大气压等离子体（CAP）的发展使得离子温度接近室温的冷大气压等离子体（CAP）设备成为可能。CAP 的独特化学和物理性质使其在各种生物医学应用中得到了应用，包括癌症治疗。CAP 表现出从空间均匀状态到可修改模式的自发转变，这种模式受自组织的影响。在这篇观点文章中，我们讨论了基于等离子体自组织的癌症治疗中等离子体的一些新应用，这使得基于等离子体的治疗系统具有自适应特性。
