Long term consequences of radiation

If you continue to suffer after the cancer therapy: There is help for people with long term consequences after radiation!

In addition to the operation and therapy with medication in cases of cancer, the area around the tumour is often irradiated. Despite increasingly advanced radiation technology, radiotherapy still regularly affects healthy neighbouring tissue. This means that healthy tissue cells are also damaged. The consequence: Continued reddening in the radiation area, pain or tension, wounds which refuse to heal, or chronically inflamed bladder or intestines hamper quality of life.

HBOT in case of long term consequences after radiation may help radiated tissue to regenerate

This does not under any circumstances mean that you’ll never enjoy life again, however. It is worth doing something for your quality of life right now. Limitations which are the result of cancer therapy must, if possible, be overcome. It is here that HBOT can provide valuable help.
Due to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), more oxygen absolutely required for wound healing is transported into the tissue. New connective tissue forms. New blood capillaries are formed and old blood capillaries regenerate. This way, even chronic wounds in the radiation area (skin surface or areas inside the body) are allowed to heal. The wound will close and the skin and other affected tissue will recover.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for long term consequences after radiation means Team Work

Our doctors evaluate the chances of HBOT seriously and exceptionally responsibly. Together with your physician, the HBO specialist will prepare a treatment programme that accounts for your complaints. Be it ambulant care with hyperbaric oxygen therapy or more extensive, interdisciplinary care in the HBO2-day clinic attached to the Pressure Chamber Centre of Freiburg.
