Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Carcinoma.
Abstract: The effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on the growth of anaplastic carcinoma colonies in rat lungs after intravenous tumor cell injection was studied. From the first day after tumor cell injection, the rats were exposed to HBO for 16-21 days, 90 min per day....
Abstract: Basing on their experience with sparing surgery in combined treatment of pharyngeal carcinoma, the authors have developed a method for specification of the diagnosis before treatment and in the course of surgical intervention. Preoperative gamma-beam...
Abstract: In 15 patients with nonresectable non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) (10 squamous, 1 large cell, 4 adenocarcinomas; T1-T3, N0-N2, all M0), lymph node dissection and intraoperative irradiation of the tumour (IORT) with doses between 10 and 20 Gy (11-20 MeV...
Abstract: There is substantial evidence for the presence of hypoxia in human tumours. This is documented by histopathological demonstration of vascular insufficiency, direct oxygen measurements in tumours, as well as by physiological imaging and mapping of hypoxic...
Abstract: Because increased effects have been achieved when murine tumors are irradiated after a period of hypoxia and because of anecdotal clinical experiences of an improved result after irradiation of previously anemic patients in hyperbaric oxygen, the...
Abstract: Two cases of synchronous pulmonary carcinoid tumour and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are described. Juettner, Fellbaum, Popper, Lehnert, Neubauer, Wagner, Becker, , (1989). Synchronous pulmonary carcinoid tumour and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: report of two...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen is sometimes used in the course of treatment in head and neck cancer patient. This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen on oral cavity carcinogenesis in an animal model. Dimethylbenzanthracene was applied...
Abstract: A randomized prospective trial was performed to study the toxicity and efficacy of the hypoxic cell sensitizer, misonidazole (MISO), used as an adjunct to high fractional dose radiotherapy in the management of unresectable Stage III and IV squamous cell...
Abstract: The effect of hyperthermia on radiation carcinogenesis was investigated in the C3Hf/Sed mouse foot. The foot was irradiated under hypoxic conditions, in air, or under hyperbaric oxygen conditions to evaluate the oxygen effect. Hyperthermia at 43.5 degrees C...
