Delayed Radiation Injury (Soft Tissue and Bony Necrosis)

Hyperbaric oxygen has been applied as a therapy for delayed radiation injury for more than 30 years with outstanding results in stimulating the growth of new blood vessels following radiation-induced damage, and treating or preventing damage to the jaw bone resulting from radiation treatment, treating radiation-induced damage to the head, neck, chest wall, abdomen and pelvis. HBOT may also prevent tooth loss or collapse of the jaw bone in patients previously treated for head or neck cancers, promote successful skin grafts or flaps following reconstructive surgery in patients treated for breast cancer, and eliminate persistent urinary bleeding (radiation cystitis) in patients treated for prostate cancer.
