Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Carcinoma.
Abstract: The usefulness of the hyperbaric oxygenation in a patient with radiation colitis was evaluated. The patient had severe bleeding from the large bowel which resulted from a pelvic radiation therapy for prostatic carcinoma and was histologically diagnosed as...
Abstract: A technique for closure of lateral or terminal defects in the bronchial wall after tissue-saving procedures, which obviates the need for sleeve resection in few selected situations, is described. Its main advantages are a low risk of surgical complications...
Abstract: Spontaneous osteoradionecrosis of the mandible is an oral complication of radiation therapy. Bone necrosis, unrelated to trauma or infection, is more common when high doses of radiation, including interstitial implants, are delivered to a large bone volume....
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) promotes tissue healing by increasing oxygenation. Therefore, HBO therapy is clinically useful for some patients who have undergone major cancer resection and/or radiotherapy to the head and neck. For individual patients, however,...
Abstract: Between 1971 and 1992, 55 patients with grade 1 (G1) (n = 32) or grade 2 (G2) (n = 23) neuroendocrine bronchial carcinomas (males: 26, females: 29; mean age: 47.7 years, range: 13-77 years) were treated. The sexes were evenly distributed in the two groups....
Abstract: Recurrent basal cell carcinoma (BCC) overlying bony structures which has been treated with radiation may be complicated by tumor invasion of bone and osteoradionecrosis. The authors present a case of recurrent BCC in which Mohs micrographic surgery and...
Abstract: Sixty-one renal cell carcinomas were analyzed by simultaneous flow cytometric bivariate measurements of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and bromodeoxyuridine. Bromodeoxyuridine in vitro labeling was performed by sample incubation with bromodeoxyuridine under...
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis may develop following radiation therapy that involves bone, and most particularly following treatment of cancers within the head and neck. The mandible is at greatest risk of osteoradionecrosis because of the nature of its blood supply and...
Abstract: As a result of enhanced cure rate and survival time of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated by radiotherapy, sequelae of radiation injury to the optic nerve are becoming important, of which the authors report 5 cases (6 eyes) observed in the...
