Event Title
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Radiation Injury to Soft Tissue and Bone: A Novel Application
Location
Hyatt Regency, Aurora-Denver, CO
Start Date

End Date
11-8-2018 9:00 AM
Description
- To realize that HBOT is an effective and approved treatment for radiation injury to bone and soft tissue through its ability to induce neo-angiogenesis in tissues rendered ischemic (not necrotic) by radiation therapy.
- To realize that HBOT is not only effective in osteoradionecrosis of the jaw and radiation injury to pelvic organs, but also is effective in radiation vascular injury to brain.
- To realize that the benefit of HBOT on brain tumor survivors is through its amelioration of small vessel depletion which can be demonstrated best by color perfusion MRI imaging.
- Realize that rather than just slowing or arresting progressive decline, HBOT actually improves neurological function in most treated patients.
