Study Summary

This trial aims to test the safety of using a type of ionized gas called non-thermal plasma on the area where the tumor was removed in breast cancer patients. The main questions it wants to answer

Who is the study for?
This trial is for breast cancer patients who have had their tumor surgically removed. It's designed to find out the safest dose of a new treatment using non-thermal plasma on the area where the tumor was. Participants will receive this treatment once post-surgery.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing a device called Convertible Plasma Jet, which applies non-thermal plasma directly to the site of tumor removal in breast cancer patients. The aim is to determine safe dosage and evaluate both safety and cosmetic outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial aims to establish safety, potential side effects are being studied; they may include skin reactions at the treatment site or other unforeseen responses due to it being an innovative therapy.
