Abstract
A method for measuring biopotentials at a lesion site on a human or animal subject and determining therefrom the magnitude of cell proliferation at such lesion site. A value indicative of the cell proliferation rate is compared with one or more reference values and treatment of the lesion is made in accordance with the results of this comparison. Treatment may be automatically controlled in response to the comparison, and the efficacy of treatment is monitored by comparing values obtained from biopotentials taken before treatment with those obtained during and/or after treatment.
