Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Radiation Necrosis
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO), the administration of 100% oxygen under high pressure, can improve the situation. Such therapy greatly increases the amount of oxygen availabile to tissue. This is due to the gaseous/fluid (oxygen/plasma) interface that enhances oxygen absorption and transportation into the liquid phase of the blood. Under such circumstances, repair of tissue damaged by high dos...
