How does oxygen repair radiation injuries?

Radiotherapy is a highly effective cancer treatment, but it sometimes collaterally damages surrounding healthy tissues, causing chronic inflammation and a severe loss of blood vessels (actinic obliterating endarteritis). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy uniquely stimulates the growth of healthy blood vessels (angiogenesis) in tissues damaged by radiation, healing them from within.

Stimulated Angiogenesis

Induces the creation of new capillary vessels in irradiated tissues, restoring blood and nutrient flow.

Stopping Tissue Bleeding (Hematuria/Proctitis)

May help improve symptoms in selected cases of radiation-related tissue injury, after specialist assessment. Response varies and follow-up is needed.

Prevention and Cure of Radionecrosis

Promotes the healing of bone damaged by radiation (osteoradionecrosis), especially in the jaw, after dental surgeries.

Commonly Treated Sequelae:

  • Radiation Cystitis: Inflammation and bleeding of the urinary bladder occurring after pelvic radiotherapy (prostate, uterine cancer, etc.).
  • Radiation Proctitis: Rectal bleeding and inflammation consequent to radiation treatment in the pelvic area.
  • Mandibular osteoradionecrosis: Injury of the jawbone following head and neck radiotherapy treatments.
  • Skin lesions and radiation-induced lymphedema: Hardening and pain in the treated skin and soft tissues.

Safe and Accredited Treatment

Hyperbaric medicine is one of the few effective therapies approved by the international medical community for radiation sequelae.

A peaceful and professional environment accompanying you closely throughout your recovery and health process.

Featured Clinical Case

Recovery of Tissues Damaged by Radiation

Learn how Perry medical-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) helps in cell regeneration and healing of radiotherapy sequelae in soft tissues and bones (such as osteoradionecrosis or radiation cystitis), stimulating neovascularization in areas damaged by cancer treatments.

"The massive supply of oxygen at real therapeutic pressures of up to 3 ATA is the only treatment that has demonstrated to regenerate hypoxic irradiated tissue and restore microcirculation."
