The shock waves amplify cyclophosphan cancer treatment efficiency in two times in comparison with its standard application, while the application of only focused shock waves of pressure amplitude of 25-45 MPa is insufficient for cancer cell suppression. It was experimentally discovered in collaboration with ITC and ICG SB RAS. The optimal dose of effect is determined for used impulses. For the first time the multi-point discharge generator of short shock waves in conducting liquid is applied for generation of shock waves of necessary parameters. The cavitation induced membrane distraction leads to significant changes of cell parameters. (1995 - I.V. Mastikhin, V.P. Nikolin, V.S. Teslenko et al.)
