Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
Abstract: To evaluate the long-term outcome with respect to local control, survival, and complications in a cohort of patients with locally advanced laryngeal carcinoma treated with hypofractionated radiation and hyperbaric oxygen at 4 atmospheres of pressure (HBO-4)....
Abstract: Cell cycle synchronization of tumor cells by exposure to hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) may increase the efficacy of chemotherapy or radiation by placing cells into a chemosensitive portion of the cycle. The purpose of the current study was to examine oxygen...
Abstract: In 1982, a 55-year-old woman was treated by total cystectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy/chemotherapy for a leiomyosarcoma of the bladder. Fifteen years later she presented with symptoms and signs of sacral plexopathy. Investigations revealed...
Abstract: We review the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in urology, and present the mechanisms of hyperoxia action in whole body hyperbaric chamber treatments, patient outcomes and patient selection criteria. The literature on hyperbaric oxygen use in urology was...
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis is one of the most serious and devastating complications of radiotherapy. The proper management of osteoradionecrosis is currently undetermined. The objective of this study is to evaluate the treatment results of a systematic approach to...
Abstract: The outlook for patients with recurrent HNC that is not amenable to treatment with curative surgery alone is grim. Reirradiation is often possible and can have a substantial effect on local tumor control. A dose of at least 60 Gy is needed, however, and...
Abstract: To investigate the effect of acute hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on post-operative sinusoidal endothelial cell (SEC) damage caused by activated neutrophils. 12 non-cirrhotic patients (Group H), who underwent elective hepatectomy for liver cancer, were...

Abstract: The purpose of this non-randomized trial was to evaluate the efficacy of radiotherapy combined with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in patients with malignant glioma. Between 1987 and 1997, 29 patients in whom computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance...
