Abstract: To explore, in a dose-escalation study, the feasibility of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatments immediately before intensity modulated radiation therapy in conjunction with cisplatinum chemotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN)....
Cisplatin
The role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (hot) as an otoprotection agent against cisplatin ototoxicity.
It's lung cancer awareness month, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has a protector effect against cisplatin (a popular lung cancer chemotherapy drug) ototoxicity. Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) consists of intermittent inhalations of 100% oxygen at a pressure...
The role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (hot) as an otoprotection agent against cisplatin ototoxicity.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) consists of intermittent inhalations of 100% oxygen at a pressure higher than 1 atm. It is an important adjuvant therapy in pathological processes like soft tissue infections, radiation injury, gas gangrene, osteomyelitis and...
Investigation of the role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.
Abstract: Cisplatin (CP) is an effective chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of a variety of solid tumours. The most frequently observed side-effect of the use of CP is nephrotoxicity. Recently, evidence has been demonstrated that reactive oxygen species...

Rapid progression of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix after hyperbaric oxygenation.
Abstract: The role of hyperbaric oxygenation in the treatment of radiation-induced sequelae and chronic ulcer is well established. On the contrary, a possible cancer-causing or growth-enhancing effect by hyperbaric oxygenation was highly controversial. Herein, we...

The effect of hyperbaric oxygen on growth and chemosensitivity of metastatic prostate cancer.
Abstract: Currently, advanced prostate cancer (CaP) is not curable. In this report hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is examined as an adjuvant to chemotherapy and as a stand-alone treatment. CaP cell monolayers grown under normoxic conditions were exposed to cisplatin, taxol...
Interstitial hyperthermia and iridium-192 treatment alone vs. interstitial iridium-192 treatment/hyperthermia and low dose cisplatinum infusion in the treatment of locally advanced head and neck malignancies.
Abstract: To determine whether the addition of low dose platinum infusional chemotherapy adds to the effectiveness of interstitial hyperthermia/iridium-192 management of locally advanced head and neck malignancies. From 1987 to 1993, 36 patients with locally advanced...
Evaluation of hyperbaric oxygen as a chemosensitizer in the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer in xenografts in mice.
Abstract: Resistance to chemotherapy is common in bulky hypoxic tumors such as epithelial ovarian cancer. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) oxygenates hypoxic tissues and promotes neovascularization. These unique properties of HBO may help overcome chemotherapy resistance by...
