Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
Abstract: A previous nonblinded study has suggested beneficial effects from hyperbaric oxygen treatment of superficial partial-thickness radiation burns in human volunteers. This protocol was designed to either confirm or challenge these previous findings in a...
Abstract: Three cases of laryngeal radionecrosis are reported. In two cases partial surgery after radiotherapy probably triggered the radionecrosis. All patients were treated successfully with medical therapy. Laryngeal radionecrosis is an uncommon complication of...
Abstract: Clayman, , , , , , , , (1997). Clinical controversies in oral and maxillofacial surgery: Part two. Management of dental extractions in irradiated jaws: a protocol without hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery : official journal...
Abstract: Administration of a tumour-seeking compound labeled with a low-energy isotope and intraoperative screening with the gamma probe (radioguided surgery, RGS) could be useful in reoperations for advanced neuroblastoma when the normal anatomy is altered. A pilot...

Abstract: In this paper we report the effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) exposure on the uptake and retention of meta-Iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) in human platelets and two neuroendocrine cell lines. The combination of [131I] MIBG and HBO is used for therapy of...
Abstract: Treatment for head and neck malignancies commonly involves radiation therapy. As a result of this therapy the vascular supply to irradiated structures is altered and results in decreased tissue perfusion. In addition to vascular changes, bony structures...
Abstract: Studies on erythropoietin (Epo) gene expression have been useful in investigating the mechanism by which cells and tissues sense hypoxia. Both in vivo and in Hep3B cells. Epo production is induced not only by hypoxia but also by certain transition metal...
Abstract: A case of gaseous gangrene by Clostridium septicum associated with colorectal cancer is presented. The patient evolved rapidly towards septic shock and death. Autopsy showed occult neoplasm and pelvic and retroperitoneal myonecrosis. An exceptional finding...
