Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for radiation-induced tissue injury following sarcoma treatment:A retrospective analysis of a Dutch cohort

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Sarcomas are commonly managed by surgical resection combined with radiotherapy. Sarcoma treatment is frequently complicated by chronic wounds and late radiation tissue injury (LRTI). This study aims to gain insight in the use and results of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for radiation-induced complications following sarcoma treatment. METHODS: All sarcoma patients treated between 2006 and 2017 in one of the five centers of the Institute for Hyperbaric Oxygen in the Netherlands were included for retrospective analysis. RESULTS: Thirty patients were included, 18 (60.... Mehr ...
