Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Carcinoma.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is one of the most serious complications of radiotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). ORN rarely occurs in the external auditory canal. This is a retrospective review of 11 NPC patients who had ORN in the external auditory...
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immediate placement of implants and appliance using hyperbaric oxygenation on a 45-year-old male with a history of squamous cell carcinoma of the floor of the mouth. Five Nobel Biocare implants between the mental...
Abstract: Radiotherapy is used in the setting of curative treatment for head and neck cancer. Xerostomia and related problems occur when major salivary glands are included in the irradiation fields. This reduces quality of life (QOL). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)...
Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the survival, pattern of failure, morbidity, and prognostic factors of concurrent chemoradiation for locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer. A retrospective survey of patients who underwent chemotherapy and radiation for...
Abstract: Previous studies have suggested that radiation therapy does not impact local complication rates after microvascular free flap (MVFF) reconstruction for head and neck cancer. There is little data, however, indicating whether or not the presence of...
Abstract: We report a pitfall deriving from the assumption of metastatic disease based upon seemingly identical histology in a pulmonary lesion and in the esophagus. In a 60-year-old patient, cT1 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma was found. One of the two pulmonary...

Abstract: Enhancement of image intensity, using the T1-weighted spoiled gradient-echo (SPGR) sequence, was measured in SCC tumor implanted in the flank of C3H mice while they were subjected to several types of oxygenation challenges inside a hyperbaric chamber...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) leads to a significant increase of oxygen supply in poorly perfused tissue. Several physiological mechanisms of this treatment modality are suitable for having a positive effect on infected large autologous free bone...
