Hyperbaric oxygen and response of tumors in experimental animals to ionizing radiation

Creators

  • 1. Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston (USA)

Description

A review is given of data demonstrating that tumors in the laboratory animal have hypoxic but viable and highly radiation-resistant cells which determine the tumor's lethal response to local irradiation. In several of these tumor systems there exist strong indications that significant reoxygenation occurs during the course of fractionated irradiation. The use of hyperbaric oxygen, though, usually effects a prominent augmentation of radiation damage to tumors
