Cancer patients may also be a perfect candidate for including HBOT within treatment plan. Cancer refers to any of the many diseases that are identified by development of abnormal cells that proliferate and divide uncontrollably which can infiltrate and destroy normal body tissues. This also often provides the cancer with the ability to spread from the initial tumor throughout other regions of the body. In 2013 there were over 1 million people diagnosed with cancer and over 500,000 deaths related to cancer.
HBOT and Cancer
Alongside chemotherapy and radiation, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) supports recovery by stimulating tumor regression and reducing side effects. Cancer cells thrive in low-oxygen environments. HBOT floods the body with pure oxygen, weakening tumors and reducing their aggressiveness.
Studies show that HBOT enhances tumor regression, reduces treatment side effects, and increases oxygen levels in tissues. It supports cellular detoxification, boosts immune function, and improves overall recovery and well-being.
Enhance Outcomes of Conventional Treatment and Therapy
- Reduce tumor lack of oxygen leading to better results from radiation therapy and chemotherapy as well as brain treatment
- Decrease drug resistant capabilities of tumors
- Increase intravenous Vitamin C therapy effects
- Enhance chemotherapy uptake
Reduce Side Effects of Conventional Treatment and Therapy
- Reduced radiation and chemotherapy side effects
- Accelerate post-operative healing and recovery while simultaneously preventing infection
- Reduce Chemo-Brain Syndrome symptoms, or the brain fog and cognitive issues sometimes felt for the duration of treatment
Reduce Tumor Aggressiveness
- Weaken hypoxic tumors
- Target metastatic tumors, or those that have spread from the initial point where the tumor began to other distal parts of the body
A Clinical Study in HBOT Effectiveness for Tumor Regression
A study tested Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) with radiation on malignant glioma patients. Fifteen received radiotherapy after HBOT sessions, while fourteen had radiation alone. Results were striking—73% in the HBOT group saw tumor shrinkage, compared to 29% without HBOT. No serious side effects were found, making HBOT a safe and effective option.
HBOT and Cancer Prevention
HBOT helps more than active cancer patients. It may also prevent cancer, especially in high-risk individuals. It reduces inflammation, improves oxygen levels, and supports detoxification. HBOT can lower tumor risk, boost energy production, and enhance DNA repair. Its anti-oxidative effects make it a powerful cancer-fighting tool.
