Jun 26, 2018 · Lots of research has been conducted on hyperbaric oxygen’s use as a cancer treatment, often with mixed or inconclusive results. In 2015, scientists in Boston made headlines with a study that concluded flooding tumors with oxygen may help some therapies work better.

Molecular, cellular, and functional behavior of cancer cells as well as their ability to cope with oxygen deprivation and therapeutic insults, differ greatly depending upon the extent and duration of the hypoxia exposure.
Nov 22, 2019 · When cancer cells hijack the process, they can fuel their own growth, and gain the ability to metastasize and resist chemotherapy and radiation treatment. The difference in oxygen levels between cancer cells and normal cells continues to inspire research.
Sep 5, 2018 · Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, HBO, or HBOT, or HBO2T, can be an important part of a complementary and integrative cancer treatment programme; it can increase blood oxygen levels quickly to 100 per cent, it can presensitise cancer cells so that more are killed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy; it can also reduce the side-effects from both treatments.
Oct 21, 2016 · Kalns4 and associates have reported the effects of HBO2 on the growth of two prostate cancer cell lines in cell culture. In this study, both cell lines had their growth suppressed after exposure to 100% oxygen for 90 minutes at 3.0 ATA relative to normobaric controls by 8.1% and 2.7% respectively.

Recent efforts have aimed to alter the hypoxic state and to reverse these adaptations to improve treatment outcome. One way to increase tumor oxygen tensions is by hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. HBO therapy can influence the tumor microenvironment at several levels.

During the last century, it has been established that regions within solid tumors experience mild to severe oxygen deprivation, due to aberrant vascular function. These hypoxic regions are associated with altered cellular metabolism, as well as increased resistance to radiation and chemotherapy.
