What Researchers Did
This review article explored the current understanding and future potential of oxygen therapy in enhancing traditional and immunotherapeutic cancer treatments.
What They Found
They found that tumor oxygenation, achieved through methods like water-soluble ozone and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, inhibits tumor growth and enhances the anti-tumor effects of chemoradiotherapy in both animal and clinical settings. Furthermore, combining oxygen therapy with immunotherapeutic interventions, such as immune checkpoint inhibition or adoptive cell therapy, is considered a novel and highly effective approach to cancer treatment.
