NOTE

Timing of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Radiation

Oxygenating the tumor before radiation increases damage proportionally, as tumors become resistant to radiation when hypoxic. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy with targeted radiation sensitizes the tumor, but the timing of therapy in relation to radiation is not firmly established. Prior to radiation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy leads to a decrease in tumor pH and an increase in reactive oxygen species, while also inhibiting glucose transport. This combination could be a potent pro-oxidant therapy for cancer cells.
