| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To establish a new cancer therapy, techniques using pulsed high electric fields were studied. It has a potential to achieve a minimally invasive treatment because pulsed electric fields would induce programmed cell death as apoptosis.
By adopting the method of forming a solid tumor in a fertilized chicken egg, large number of animal test, which was usually high research cost, were performed. The growth suppression effect of the solid tumor by pulsed electric field was confirmed, and the effect was found to be dependent upon electric field strength. Moreover, the effect was mainly based on apoptosis. Three experiment systems were established eventually. Therefore, future research development is favorable.
