Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Carcinoma.
Abstract: We report a 25-year-old male patient with primitive neuroectodermal tumor presenting as a subcutaneous tumor on the right buttock, which was initially diagnosed as neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. Subsequently, local recurrence and metastatic spread to...
Abstract: 200 consecutive, unselected patients with cancer of the oesophagus or the oesophagogastric junction (89 squamous, 110 adenocarcinoma or undifferentiated, 1 oat cell) between 1984 and 1987 were reviewed. Resection with postoperative adjuvant irradiation in...
Abstract: A 63 year old male underwent 6,900 rads of external radiation for a squamous cell carcinoma of the left main bronchus. Recurrence of the tumor 8 months later was treated with 6,618 joules and patency of the left main bronchus was restored. Four months later,...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen is an important adjunct to the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer with existing or recurrent wound healing problems. Anecdotal clinical observations and a recent study of chemically induced oral cancer in hamsters have raised...
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the mandible is one of the most dreaded complications in the treatment of cancer of the head and neck. If conservative and surgical treatment have not been successful, very often the only remaining solution is surgical...
Abstract: The late radiation change observed in 15 patients treated for carcinoma of oral cavity or oropharynx using continuous hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy (CHART) was compared to that seen in 15 similar patients treated with conventional radiotherapy....
Abstract: Proliferative activities were determined in 72 human brain tumors, including 20 metastatic carcinomas, 41 gliomas, 8 meningiomas and 3 hematological tumors. Immunocytochemical techniques included labeling with monoclonal antibody (mAb) to bromodeoxyuridine...
Abstract: Refusal of operative intervention because of high operative risk not infrequently deprives the patients of the only chance to prolong survival. Surgical treatment under hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) creates adequate conditions for such operations as oxygen...
Abstract: Anaemia is an important factor in the response of some human tumours to radiotherapy. The outcome is also influenced by whether the treatment is given in air or high pressure oxygen (HPO). The present study examined the relationship between anaemia and...
