In 2021, over 1.9 million people were diagnosed with cancer and over 610,000 cancer-related deaths occurred in the United States alone. Furthermore, cancer is a leading cause of death, worldwide, causing nearly 1 in 6 deaths in 2020.
New integrated treatments are being utilized to help combat cancer and its disease progression. Hyperbaric therapy is currently being utilized in conjunction with conventional treatments, including radiation and chemotherapy, to attain optimal dosages for patients, stimulate tumor regression and reduce the side effects of treatments.
Cancer thrives in hypoxic environments and hyperbaric therapy has been shown to increase these oxygen levels to weaken tumors and reduce their aggressiveness.
