Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of radiotherapy (RT) using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) boosts after hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy with chemotherapy in patients with glioblastoma. Twenty-four patients with...
Abstract: In view of the poor outcomes associated with mucormycosis in patients with haematologic malignancies (HM) and haematopoietic cell transplant recipients, antifungal combinations are frequently used, yet the value of such strategy remains unclear. We reviewed...
Abstract: The livedoid vasculopathy is a rare condition characterized by the presence of recurrent painful ulcers in distal extremities of lower limbs. Histologically there is thickness of dermal vessels, occlusion of its light by fibrin thrombi associated with...
Abstract: One of the complications of polycythemia vera (PV) can be acute thrombotic occlusion. The severity and prolonged duration of this condition can lead to nerve damage. In this case a 34-year-old male had thrombotic occlusions of the popliteal artery, resulting...
Abstract: The present study was undertaken to evaluate osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in patients with salivary gland malignancies (SGM) after treatment with radiation therapy. The medical records of 172 patients treated with radiation therapy for SGM during a 12-year...
Abstract: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide; survival times are poor despite therapy. The role of the two-pore domain K+ (K2P) channel TASK-1 (KCNK3) in lung cancer is at present unknown. We found that TASK-1 is expressed in non-small cell...
Abstract: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an established treatment modality for non-small cell lung cancer. Phototoxicity, the primary adverse event, is expected to be minimized with the introduction of new photosensitizers that have shown promising results in phase I...
Abstract: The late effects of radiation therapy following the treatment of cancer are a well-known consequence. Evidence increasingly supports the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) as an adjunctive treatment in a variety of radiation injuries. To present the findings of...
Abstract: Recent reports demonstrate that the expression of protein kinase C alpha (PKCα) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) correlates with decreased survival outcomes. However, off-target effects of targeting PKCα and limited understanding of the signaling...
