What Researchers Did
Researchers analyzed the effectiveness of hyperbaric and anoxic radiation therapy for local control of malignant disease, leading to the adoption of two basic treatment regimes.
What They Found
They found that two basic treatment regimes, hyperbaric and anoxic radiation therapy, had similar morbidity to conventional regimens. Within their established limitations, these regimes were shown to greatly increase the response rate of the treated malignancies.
