Therapeutic effects of cold plasma-activated water on MCF7 breast cancer tumors in a mouse model

Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women, and plasma-activated water (PAW) is emerging as a potential therapeutic approach. While early results are encouraging, additional research is necessary to assess its long-term effects and identify the most effective methods of application.
