What Researchers Did
Researchers treated two patients with severe radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis, refractory to conventional therapy, using hyperbaric oxygen.
What They Found
In both cases, gross hematuria disappeared and cystoscopic findings remarkably improved after hyperbaric oxygen therapy. No remarkable side effects were observed in either of the two patients.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection.
Study Limitations
A significant limitation of this study is its very small sample size of only two patients, which limits the generalizability of the findings.
