Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
Abstract: The efficacy of intravenous administration of 400 mg carboplatin/m(2) body surface area over 60 minutes combined with hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy (0.2 MPa for 60 min) was investigated in 6 Japanese patients (aged 36-67 years) with malignant or...
Abstract: Nitrous oxide concentration is easily controlled by respiratory ventilation. It suppresses bone marrow via the inhibition of thymidylate synthesis. The aim of this work was to determine the optimal pressure and exposure duration of nitrous oxide, as well as...
Abstract: Chronic radiation enteritis is an increasing problem, as more patients receive radiotherapy as part of their cancer therapy and as the long-term survival of these patients improves. This review addresses the causes, investigation, treatment and prevention of...
Abstract: Tumor hypoxia is relevant for tumor growth, metabolism and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We report that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment induced mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) in a dimethyl-alpha-benzantracene induced mammary rat...
Abstract: Chondroradionecrosis (CRN) of the larynx is a rare but fatal complication of radiotherapy. We determined the optimal diagnostic methodology and management of laryngeal CRN in six patients. We retrospectively reviewed the records of six patients with Chandler...
Abstract: Cerebral gas embolism as a result of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is a rare complication and bares a high morbidity. A patient is presented who underwent an upper endoscopy for evaluation of a gastric-mediastinal fistula after subtotal oesophagectomy and...
Abstract: Radiation retinopathy and maculopathy are predictable complications resulting from exposure to any source of radiation, including external beam and plaque brachytherapy. Most choroidal melanomas are currently treated with plaque brachytherapy. However, the...
Abstract: In pediatric oncology patients, hemorrhagic cystitis can be a life-threatening complication of bone marrow transplantation, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The treatment of this condition is often challenging and includes intravesical irrigation with...
Abstract: The purpose of this retrospective case series was to evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of systemic chemotherapy using paclitaxel and carboplatin plus regional hyperthermia (HT) and hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)....
