Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
Abstract: Total gangrene of the left lung developed in a 30-year-old male patient with a pulmonary recurrence of Hodgkin's disease after mediastinal irradiation and chemotherapy. Clinically, tension pyopneumothorax and severe septic shock were present. Surgical repair...

Abstract: Today's reconstruction of head and neck cancer related deformities is based on an in-depth knowledge of soft and hard tissue repair coupled with the technical ability to transplant and reorient soft and hard tissues into a functional and cosmetic improvement...
Abstract: The effect of exposing WHT mice bearing the Fib/T tumor to a low-oxygen environment (8, 10, and 15% oxygen) for 48 h or 72 h before irradiation was compared, using an in vitro colony-forming excision assay, to the effect obtained when mice were pretreated...
Abstract: Published reports on the use of hyperbaric oxygen in the radiation therapy of head and neck cancer are reviewed. The weight of evidence, from randomised trials, is that it is of clinical value in the control of medium sized head and neck tumours. It is also...
Abstract: The 15 randomised controlled clinical trials of hyperbaric oxygen in radiotherapy yielded three with highly significant benefit and six with useful margins not reaching statistical significance. The increase in tumour control was partly negated by an...
Abstract: Refusal of operative intervention because of high operative risk not infrequently deprives the patients of the only chance to prolong survival. Surgical treatment under hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) creates adequate conditions for such operations as oxygen...
Abstract: The present paper discuss the development of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in the jaws. ORN is the end stage of tissue injury induced by irradiation. The most prominent etiologic factor of ORN seems to be the effect of radiation on endothelial cells lining the...
Abstract: Anaemia is an important factor in the response of some human tumours to radiotherapy. The outcome is also influenced by whether the treatment is given in air or high pressure oxygen (HPO). The present study examined the relationship between anaemia and...
