Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Carcinoma.
Abstract: To investigate effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on treatment of late healed wounds after pharyngeal and laryngeal carcinomas surgery. Eighty-three patients with late healed wounds after pharyngolaryngectomy were divided into two groups, which were...
Abstract: Endolymphatic sac tumors (ELSTs) are rare neuroectodermal neoplasms arising within the posterior petrous bone. We present a case of a 21-year-old man who presented with a 6-month history of intermittent morning headaches, fatigue, diplopia, and gait ataxia....
Abstract: The importance of tumour hypoxia for the outcome of radiotherapy has been under investigation for decades. Numerous clinical trials modifying the hypoxic radioresistance in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) have been conducted, but most...
Abstract: Soft tissue necrosis is reported in up to 26% of patients undergoing radiotherapy for penile cancer. Management options include local irrigation, wound debridement, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medication, and analgesics. Refractory lesions may be treated...
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the mandible is a significant complication of radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. In this condition, bone within the radiation field becomes devitalized and exposed through the overlying skin or mucosa, persisting as a...
Abstract: To investigate the effect and the possible influential mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on the proliferation and metastasis in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) CNE2Z cell line. NPC CNE2Z cell line were divided into 4 groups...
Abstract: TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL, Apo2L) is a promising anticancer agent with high specificity for cancer cells. Many strategies have been proposed to enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, including the use of...
Abstract: Recent studies have shown that intraoperative blood loss and blood transfusions promote postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a specific method of oxygen administration, which is independent of fluid...
Abstract: Past radiation therapy is known as a major risk factor promoting post-supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) complications. Risk of post-SCPL complications may further increase following failure of high dose radiation; in these patients, wound infection...
