Abstract: Tumour hypoxia is well recognised as a major factor contributing to radioresistance. This article examines the role of hypoxia in influencing the treatment outcome following radiotherapy (RT), and reviews the rationale and results of clinical trials that...
Abstract: The effect of hyperbaric pressure on the inhibitory glycine receptor has been investigated in voltage-clamped Xenopus oocytes microinjected with cRNA encoding the human alpha-1 glycine receptor subunit. Heterologous expression of the human alpha-1 subunit...
Abstract: Mestrovic, , , , , , , , (1996). Comments on "Does hyperbaric oxygen have a cancer-causing or -promoting effect?". Undersea & hyperbaric medicine : journal of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, Inc, 1996...
Abstract: The results of radiotherapy combined with hyperbaric oxygen in 9 patients with malignant glioma were compared with those of radiotherapy without hyperbaric O2 in 12 patients. This is the first report of a pilot study of irradiation immediately after exposure...
Abstract: Gross haematuria and severe bleeding from the large intestine occurred after pelvic radiotherapy in an 84-year-old woman with cancer of the uterus. Hyperbaric oxygenation treatment at 2 atmospheric absolute pressures for 60 minutes daily over 30 days and...
Abstract: The feasibility and advantages of application of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO)-assisted polychemotherapy have been demonstrated. A procedure for treatment of lymphorrhea following breast surgery has been developed. The therapeutic effect of HBO procedures in...
Abstract: The study addresses the clinical significance of percutaneous fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology in patients with intrathoracic lesions. The diagnoses based on cytology in 101 patients (73 male, 28 female; age 21-78 years) with intrathoracic lesions were...
Abstract: Chiasmal gliomas are rare tumors occurring predominantly in children. Their treatment consists of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Surgical removal can usually be only partial, and radiotherapy frequently follows. There are supporters of radiotherapy,...
Abstract: The effect of postoperative external beam radiation in MO non-small cell lung cancer resected with curative intention was evaluated in a randomized trial. In 155 patients (121 males, 34 females; mean age: 59 years) 105 lobectomies, 12 bilobectomies and 38...
Abstract: Controversy exists concerning the optimal pO2 of the perfusate during isolated limb perfusion (ILP) with melphalan. Therefore we studied the implications of hyperbaric oxygen tensions in the perfusate. In 12 consecutive patients, subcutaneous pO2...
