Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers investigated the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in treating late-term radiation complications in a single patient with laryngeal cancer.

What They Found

A 58-year-old male patient with laryngeal oedema and dyspnoea, developed one year after radiotherapy for laryngeal cancer, received HBOT at 2.4 atm for 90 minutes per session. Symptoms were completely relieved after 19 sessions, leading to early termination of the planned 30-session treatment course.

Canadian Relevance

No direct Canadian connection identified.

Study Limitations

This study is a single case report, which significantly limits the generalizability of its findings to a broader patient population.
