Cancer And HBOT

Discussing patient histories is an essential part of communication. In addition, we have more science to support oxygen therapy than any other intervention in medicine. Why increasing the inspired partial pressure a small amount over what is routinely used should be regarded as snake oil is beyond me and shows the fundamental ignorance of our profession. It is NOT quackery.

There is no evidence that cancer is activated by HBO indeed the first post WW 2 use of HBO was as an adjunct to radiotherapy in which high tissue tensions increase the kill rate. There was a trial published from a London medical, school about 5 years ago on the value of HBOT in glottic cancer.
