Plasma Medicine: Innovative Methods of Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Wounds and Oncological Diseases

Abstract

This paper examines the contemporary landscape and future potential of plasma medicine as a transformative branch of healthcare innovation. Centered on the use of cold atmospheric plasma, this emerging field has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in treating chronic wounds, combating multidrug-resistant pathogens, managing dermatological and oncological conditions, and sterilizing medical instruments and surfaces. Emphasis is placed on understanding the mechanisms of action -especially the generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that selectively target pathogenic microbes and cancer cells. International research findings further affirm the promising integration of plasma technologies into modern medical practice, highlighting both its benefits and challenges, along with its social and economic implications. Moreover, the rapid evolution of plasma medicine is opening new avenues for treatment strategies that may complement existing therapies to improve patient outcomes. Researcher explores innovative combinatory approaches and refining protocols to maximize clinical efficacy, ensuring that this technology can be standardized and broadly applied. These advancements position plasma medicine as a pivotal development in addressing complex global health challenges with safe, effective, and forward-thinking solutions. Ongoing research into plasma medicine is further enhanced by collaborative efforts among scientists, clinicians, and engineers. Their work is refining plasma device technology, standardizing treatment protocols, and deepening the understanding of cellular responses, which is crucial for optimizing therapeutic outcomes and ensuring the safe, widespread adoption of plasma-based interventions globally.
