Abstract :
The authors present an analysis of structure and electric character of tumors using stimulation by a low direct electric pulse. The method is based on direct current techniques used to treat tumors. It is found that the currents play an important role in ionizing tissue, as does ionizing radiation. The results demonstrated that it was more effect in the healing of tumors to use a direct electric pulse than to use direct current
