Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Cancer
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death, worldwide, and new integrated treatments are being utilised to help combat its devastating effects. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is currently being utilised in conjunction with conventional treatments, including radiation and chemotherapy, to attain optimal dosages for patients, stimulate tumour regression and reduce the side effects of treatments. Cancer thrives in hypoxic environments and HBOT has been shown to increase oxygen levels to weaken tumours and reduce their aggressiveness.
Conclusion: - Studies have demonstrated that benefits of HBOT for cancer with the following:
Enhance “Conventional” Cancer Therapies and Treatments with HBOT
Reduces Tumour Hypoxia
Better Radiation Therapy Results
Improves Chemotherapy Outcome
Enhances Brain Treatment
Decreases Tumour Drug Resistance
Allows for Optimal Therapy Dosage to be Obtained
Increases Post-Op Fibroblast Activation
Reduce Side Effects of “Conventional” Cancer Therapies and Treatments with HBOT
Reduces Radiation Therapy Side Effects
Decreases Chemotherapy Side Effects
Accelerates Post-Operative Healing and Prevents Infection
Reduces Chemo-Brain Syndrome Symptoms
Enhance IV Cancer Treatments with HBOT
Increases Intravenous Vitamin C Therapy Effect
Enhances Chemotherapy Uptaken
Reduce Tumour Aggressiveness with HBOT
Weakens Hypoxic Tumours
Targets Metastatic Tumours
Cancer Prevention with HBOT
Decreases Inflammatory Markers
Normalises Intracellular Oxygen Levels
Stimulates Cellular Detoxification
Reduces Risk of Pathogenic Inflammatory-Related Tumours
Supports Cellular Energy Processes for Optimal DNA Repair
