Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
Abstract: We investigated the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in the management of patients with radiation-induced late side effects, the majority of whom had failed previous interventions. Of 105 eligible subjects, 30 had either died or were not...
Abstract: I have reviewed reports concerning neurologic emergency and neurosurgical diseases adjunctively treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. Some clinical studies indicate the favorable effects of HBO therapy on the events at an ultra-acute stage of brain...
Abstract: We report one case of rectal cancer disclosed by a perineal cellulitis in a diabetic woman. This infrequent association has a bad prognosis. Diagnosis is mainly clinical. Treatment is urgent with large spectrum antibiotic therapy, surgical debridement,...
Abstract: Tumor hypoxia, either preexisting or as a result of oxygen depletion during photodynamic therapy (PDT) light irradiation, can significantly reduce the effectiveness of PDT-induced cell killing. To overcome tumor hypoxia and improve tumor cell killing, we...
Abstract: This paper discusses the use of extra-oral endosseous craniofacial implant (EOECI) therapy in irradiated bone. The survival rate of EOECIs in irradiated bone is reviewed and the controversy over the optimal time prior to place implants is described. The...
Abstract: Hepatic total vascular exclusion (HTVE) with clamping of the portal triad and the inferior vena cava below and above the liver is a useful technique in the resection of major hepatic lesions situated close to the hepatic veins and inferior vena cava. From...
Abstract: Radical resection is the therapy of choice in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, even in early stages (T1N0, T2N0) up to 35% of patients will experience recurrence. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the prognostic influence of...
Abstract: The human lung cell line A549 is frequently used as an in vitro model for studying lung toxicity and genotoxicity of environmental mutagens and carcinogens. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment has been shown to be an excellent model for investigating the...
Abstract: A systematic review of radiation therapy trials in several tumour types was performed by The Swedish Council of Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU). The procedures for evaluation of the scientific literature are described separately (Acta Oncol 2003;...
