The ketogenic diet and hyperbaric oxygen therapy prolong survival in mice with systemic metastatic cancer.
Abstract: Abnormal cancer metabolism creates a glycolytic-dependency which can be exploited by lowering glucose availability to the tumor. The ketogenic diet (KD) is a low carbohydrate, high fat diet which decreases blood glucose and elevates blood ketones and has...Hyperbaric oxygen and cancer: more complex than we expected.

Abstract: Postradiation hemorrhagic cystitis is a well known long-term complication of radiation therapy occurring in 3-6 % of patients. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment for radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis not...Clinical Trial – Optical Coherence Tomography for Monitoring Late Oral Radiation Toxicity After Radiotherapy of Head and Neck Cancer Patients
Radiation therapy of the head and neck cancer patients causes late oral radiation
complications such as xerostomia (dry mouth) or mucosal atrophy. Currently, methods such as
hyperbaric oxygen are used to treat these complications; however, there are no quantifiable
means of assessing the outcome of these methods. At present, subjective methods such as
superficial examination of the oral cavity are used, yet complications are known to mostly
start in the subsurface layers. In this feasibility study, we apply an imaging technique
called optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a means of providing objective and quantifiable
images of the subsurface micro-structural and micro-vascular changes of oral tissue.
Depth-resolved, micrometer-resolution OCT images provide information on changes associated
with late radiation complications.
