English term

direct current (постоянный или направленный ток?)

English to Russian Medical Medical: Health Care Cancer treatment
With BET/ECT tumor cells are neither excised nor removed by invasive methods but are destroyed by means of direct current. Expressed in very simple terms, combating tumors by means of electrical currents works as follows: Two electrodes are used to apply a current to the tumor. According to the principle of least resistance the current rather flows through the tumor cells than healthy tissue. Positively charged ions such as H+ and Na+ thus move towards the cathode while negatively charged ions such as CI- move towards the anode. Within the cancer cell, the depolarization produces hydrochloric acid which destroys the cell membrane. A high intensity of electric current and voltage then creates pH values in the affected cells that lie far outside the physiological scope.
