HBOT For Radiation Necrosis in Portland, OR
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an effective treatment for radiation necrosis, a condition where tissue damage occurs due to previous radiation therapy. By delivering high concentrations of oxygen in a pressurized chamber, HBOT promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and encourages the growth of new, healthy blood vessels in the affected area.

What is Radiation Necrosis?
Radiation therapy is designed to kill cancerous cells. When this radiation also kills healthy tissue, it is called radiation necrosis. Damage to healthy tissue can result in…
- A buildup of dead tissue, resulting in the development of a new tumor
- Issues with your central nervous system
- Difficulty building new tissue, fighting infection, or healing skin
Recent studies suggest that 5-10% of people who have had radiation therapy may develop radiation necrosis.
Radiation necrosis develops after radiation therapy has ended, developing in the months and even years following treatment.
How Can Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Treat Radiation Necrosis?
HBOT uses increased atmospheric pressures to allow the body to absorb more oxygen. This is done through treatment in a hyperbaric chamber in which the atmospheric pressure is increased and pure oxygen is released.
When at sea level, your lungs absorb a normal amount of oxygen from the air. However, at an increased level of atmospheric pressure, the body can absorb oxygen much more. Healing begins when damaged tissue receives much-needed oxygen and circulation returns.
Over 10,000 clinical trials and case studies have been completed to test health-related applications of hyperbaric treatment, including for treatment of radiation necrosis. The vast majority of results have reported overwhelming success.
