Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
Abstract: Radiotherapy is a well-established treatment for some solid tumours. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) may improve radiotherapeutic killing of hypoxic cancer cells, so the simultaneous administration of radiotherapy and HBO may reduce mortality and tumour...
Abstract: to evaluate the influence of HBOT to the side effect and quality of life after pelvic radiation. this is an open randomized, parallel, prospective study conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Oncology Division and Department of Radiotherapy....
Abstract: Neurological signs and symptoms are common in recreational divers with decompression illness (DCI). The spectrum of neurological manifestations, temporal profile, and laboratory findings are described in a large series of 200 consecutive recreational divers...
Abstract: To test the hypothesis that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has no effect on tumor growth in a murine model of indolent in vivo prostate cancer. HBO means breathing pure (100%) oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure. Human prostate PC-3 cells were injected into...
Abstract: Cancer patients who undergo radiotherapy remain at life-long risk of radiation-induced injury to normal tissues. We conducted a randomized, controlled, double-blind crossover trial with long-term follow-up to evaluate the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen...
Abstract: To characterize the radiation dose-response of the human spinal cord. Because no single institution has sufficient data to establish a dose-response function for the human spinal cord, published reports were combined. Requisite data were dose and...
Abstract: Breast carcinoma frequently metastasises to bone, most often to the thoracic and lumbosacral spine. 3 women, aged 66, 47 and 54 years, who had been previously treated for breast cancer presented with sternal pain. Bone scintigraphy revealed a solitary...
Abstract: Since observations from the beginning of the last century, it has become well established that solid tumors may contain oxygen-deficient hypoxic areas and that cells in such areas may cause tumors to become radioresistant. Identifying hypoxic cells in human...
Abstract: In esophageal cancer, the liver, lung, and bones are the most common sites of visceral metastases. Isolated chest wall metastases are quite extraordinary and occur very rarely. In February 2004, a 59-year-old male patient was admitted with esophageal...
