Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
Abstract: Mucormycosis is a highly aggressive fungal infection affecting diabetic, immunocompromised, and, occasionally, healthy patients. This infection is associated with significant mortality. We have reviewed 208 cases in the literature since 1970, 139 of which...
Abstract: Radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis continues to cause frustration for patients and urologists alike. Virtually all present modes of treatment tend to yield short-term benefits and entail potentially devastating risk by virtue of the tissue destructive...
Abstract: Treatment of patients with osteoradionecrosis of the mandible with a pathologic fracture consists in almost all cases of a continuity resection of the mandible. This leads to functional and esthetic problems that can only be solved by often extensive...
Abstract: The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of postoperative hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on wound breakdown following radical vulvectomy. A prospective, observational study was performed on patients undergoing radical vulvectomy from October...
Abstract: Enterovesical fistula is a rare complication of pelvic radiotherapy. Recurrent disease is the cause of fistulization in most patients. We identified 14 patients who developed enterovesical fistula in the absence of tumor recurrence. These women were at high...
Abstract: Prolonged and compromised wound-healing, i.e. in scar tissue or after irradiation, often causes problems, especially when free transplants, for example for bony reconstruction of the mandible after resection of tumor, are used. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy...

Abstract: Radiation enteric disorders are rare and difficult to treat. A case of radiation duodenitis treated by hyperbaric oxygen is reported. A sixty-year-old man underwent right nephroureterectomy, chemotherapy (platin and 5 fluorouracil) and radiation therapy (54...
Abstract: The article examines current laboratory and clinical information with respect to the relative importance of tumor hypoxia to the radiation control of carcinoma of the cervix. Its impact is difficult to quantify because of interrelated important parameters,...
