ABSTRACT: Renal
cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most important urological tumors and is one
of the most common cancer diseases worldwide. Unfortunately, the treatment
options are very limited due to resistances. Non-invasive physical plasma
(NIPP) is currently becoming a promising and very well tolerated treatment
option for cancer. NIPP represents a highly energized gas and induces varying antioncogenic cell responses in tumor
cells. And also in the case of RCC, NIPP treatment has great potential
to enhance and supplement existing anticancer treatment options. Outstanding
characteristics of NIPP treatment are 1) a precise and local effect on the
treated tissue and 2) an almost exclusive effect on treated tumor cells without
side effects. This allows an enormously
large therapeutic window and makes the combination of NIPP treatment and
classical therapy appear particularly promising. In addition to RCC, plasma oncology offers an extremely
innovative physical treatment method for future oncology in general. This
brief review article summarizes the current knowledge on the potential use of
NIPP in RCC therapy.
