Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
Abstract: Cancer is a significant global health problem. Radiotherapy is a treatment for many cancers and about 50% of patients having radiotherapy with be long-term survivors. Some will experience LRTI developing months or years later. HBOT has been suggested for...
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis of the mandible is a serious complication of radiation therapy to the head and neck. Given the increased use of radiation therapy and combined chemotherapy-radiation therapy regimens in treatment of head and neck malignancies, it is...
Abstract: Our experience confirms that pectoralis major flap is the first-choice technique for repairing recurrent hypopharyngeal fistulae in previously irradiated patients in whom microsurgical techniques are not indicated, and that hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps to...

Abstract: Zygomycosis is a rare but emerging mycosis. Because of the sub-optimal efficacy of the standard antifungal treatment for this disease, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been used occasionally as an adjunctive therapeutic modality. A review of 28 published cases of...
Abstract: To assess the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) for treating haemorrhagic cystitis. From February 1997 to April 2004, seven patients with radiation-induced haemorrhagic cystitis were treated with HBO; they received a mean (range) of 30 (18-57) HBO...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO2) is used commonly for treatment of bone and soft-tissue radiation necrosis. It may be a potential therapy for radiation necrosis seen after brain irradiation. HBO2 risks include generalized tonic-clonic convulsions. We...
