Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
Abstract: One hundred and thirty patients with locally advanced squamous carcinoma of the head and neck were treated in a prospective randomized trial to compare conventional irradiation (63.00 Gy in 30 fractions) with a combination sensitizer regimen of misonidazole...
Abstract: Hypothermia reduces metabolism and oxygen utilization by tissues. If the blood supply to a solid tumour can be maintained at a sufficient level, the hypoxic fraction of tumour cells may be reduced and radiosensitivity increased. This may be achieved if...
Abstract: Four patients with radiation-induced optic neuropathies were treated with hyperbaric oxygen. They had received radiation therapy for treatment of pituitary tumors, reticulum cell sarcoma, and meningioma. Two presented with amaurosis fugax before the onset of...

Abstract: In vitro cell kinetic studies of 27 surgically removed human lung cancers were performed by the immunohistochemical procedure using monoclonal antibody to bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU). BrdU was incorporated under hyperbaric oxygenation, and labeled cells were...
Abstract: The selective increase in tumor blood flow under angiotensin II-induced hypertension was observed to be the result of passive vascular beds irresponsive to angiotensin II. We investigated whether or not increased tumor blood flow resulting from angiotensin...
Abstract: Recent advances in radiation chemistry and radiation biology have led to the combined use of radiosensitizing agents with radiation in the treatment of radioresistant tumors. Various chemicals, including cancerocidal drugs, are used, although radiation...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen has been advocated in the treatment of many head and neck diseases. Reports of such treatments have described eustachian tube dysfunction as the only complication. A review of patients receiving hyperbaric oxygen for head and neck diseases...
Abstract: Doxorubicin, an antineoplastic drug, can cause severe ulceration if extravasated when iv injected. In this study, the effects of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) and the antioxidants butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and beta-carotene were tested on such ulcers...
