Abstract:
Various devices, systems, and methods are capable of killing tumor cells by delivering cell-disrupting agents into a tumor in an inward direction from a peripheral border about the tumor. In some examples, a covering that includes one or more emissive elements encompasses at least a portion of a tumor such that the emissive element is directed inwardly toward the tumor so as to be able to introduce a cell-disrupting agent into the tumor. In further examples, the covering is incorporated into a glove.
