Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Carcinoma.
Abstract: This article was undertaken to present two cases of nonhealing ulcers that occurred after primary radiation therapy and local excision of suspected residual or recurrent anal carcinomas. Both patients responded favorably to hyperbaric chamber treatment....
Abstract: A 65-year-old woman underwent resection of a distal common bile duct carcinoma (Whipple's procedure). Twelve months later a single hepatic metastasis was detected and a chemoembolization was performed. Immediately after chemoembolization the patient...
Abstract: Although hypoxia is considered a major cause of failure of radiotherapy, the mechanisms of tumor hypoxia are unclear, and effective ways for its correction or targeting are missing. Tumoral vasculature is the vehicle for the hemoglobin to reach the tumoral...
Abstract: We report the case of a patient who underwent radiotherapy of the neck because of an epidermoid carcinoma in Rosenmuller's fossa. Eleven months later, T1-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a bulbo-pontine lesion, and the clinical course...
Abstract: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, which is comprised of a heterogeneous group of tumors arising from the epithelial lining of the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx, is a locoregional disease. Tumor hypoxia and anemia are known to adversely effect the...

Abstract: Background and Objective We wanted to determine the role of additional photodynamic therapy in a multimodal approach for the treatment of patients with advanced cancer of the gastro-esophageal junction. Study Design/Materials and Methods We reviewed 53...
Abstract: Laryngeal radionecrosis is a difficult late complication of radiotherapy. It is associated with hoarseness, edema, pain, weight loss, and upper airway obstruction. The medical treatment options are limited, and in severe cases, the patient may require...
