Research suggests that the use of hyperbaric therapy (HBOT) in conjunction with radiotherapy or chemotherapy can have significant results in reducing mortality and relapses. HBOT can help treat cancer in several ways, such as improving blood flow to the tumour, slowing the growth of cancer cells (especially hypoxic cancer cells, which are low in oxygen) and increasing the effectiveness of standard therapy.
HBOT may also help reduce the side effects of cancer treatment, such as nausea, vomiting and fatigue.
