| High Dose of Oxygen Enhances Cancer Treatment - Leukemia | The compound artemisinin – isolated from Artemisia annua L, commonly known as wormwood – is a natural remedy widely used to treat malaria. In the mid-1990s UW researchers were the first to explore its ability to treat cancer.
In the new study, using artemisinin or high-pressure oxygen alone on a culture of human leukemia cells reduced the cancer cells’ growth by 15 percent. Using them in combination reduced the cells’ growth by 38 percent, a 50 percent increase in artemisinin’s effectiveness. |
| Man Dying From Side Effect of Cancer Treatment Makes Remarkable Recovery Using Hyperbaric Chamber | A Newspaper Article out of Tampa, Florida about a man dying from side effect of Cancer treatment that made a remarkable recovery using Hyperbaric Therapy. |

| Breast Cancer Patients Benefit From Decompression Chambers Used For Divers | Decompression chambers, used to treat deep-sea divers with the bends, may hold the key to relieving
painful side effects of breast cancer treatment.
Breathing pure oxygen in a decompression chamber could help women who have been left with
lymphoedema - a painful and irreversible condition characterised by a severely swollen arm following
radiotherapy. |

| The Use of Hyperbaric Medicine For Inoperable and Terminal Facial Cancer and Tumors | On November 2, 2003, a 71 year old male patient presented in my office with two inoperable basil cell carcinoma facial
tumors - one in the right nasal area, and the other in the right lower jaw area. With the tumors growing more quickly by the day medical doctors gave the patient "less than 30 days to expire" because they suggested the tumors would soon grow into the neck area and cut off the blood and oxygen supply to the brain. |

| Hyperbaric Oxygen In Brain Cancer Treatment | Hyperbaric oxygen is being tried out in brain cancer treatment in New York. Researchers at The Long Island Brain Tumor Center at Neurological Surgery, P.C. are examining whether the hyperbaric therapy – breathing pure oxygen while in a pressurized chamber – may prove a useful addition to the current standard of care for patients newly diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. |
| HBOT’s Potential Anti-Cancer Effects on Breast Cancer Cells | In the 2007 study, Haroon, Patel, and Al-Mehdi decided to evaluate the growth of murine breast cancer cells in the lung after hyperbaric oxygen treatment in an experimental metastasis assay. |
| Soft Tissue Radionecrosis Pathophysiology and Hyperbaric Effects | Due to the very high oxygen concentrations
achievable intravascularly with HBOT, the diffusion distance of oxygen into the tissues is increased
two to three times. As a result, a much larger volume of tissue becomes oxygenated by the remaining
blood vessels. The hyperoxia stimulates fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis, which provide
a matrix for the development of new blood vessels into the area at a faster rate than the usual.
HBOT’s main influence on tissue damaged by irradiation is angiogenesis, thereby promoting tissue
healing. |
