Atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) has been recognized as a promising tool for cancer therapy based on its ability to remove cancer cells by causing apoptosis and necrosis. However, the effect of APP on the neighboring tissues of tumors remains unknown. Moreover, the role of APP on the vessels near tumors could be very important, because once a tumor becomes vascularized, the potential for metastasis can increase dramatically. We show in the present study that APP can induce cell cycle arrest in endothelial cells and further suppress the angiogenesis process. These results strongly support the use of APP in cancer treatment.
