Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Radiation-Induced Tissue Injury

Quick fact

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can grow new blood vessels in tissues damaged by radiation, a process that typically takes months, by using high-pressure oxygen to overcome chronic tissue hypoxia.

Why this is interesting

Imagine a wound that never heals because its blood supply has been damaged by radiation therapy. What if the key to healing it is simply breathing pure oxygen under pressure?
