What Researchers Did
Researchers presented two case studies of patients with post-radiation necrosis who were successfully treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
What They Found
Both patients, a 53-year-old woman with laryngeal carcinoma and a 72-year-old man with prostate cancer, experienced full clinical and objective recovery from post-radiation injury. They were successfully treated with a protocol of 2 ATM 100% hyperbaric oxygen for 5 days a week, totaling 60 sessions.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection as it was not conducted in Canada or by Canadian researchers.
Study Limitations
A significant limitation of this study is its reliance on only two case reports, which restricts the generalizability of the findings.
