Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy To Help CRTI & STRN.
Advanced Treatments Options For The
Late Effects of Radiation Therapy
Treating the Late Effects Of Radiation Therapy With HBOT 2022
There will be approximately 1,900,000 new cancer patients diagnosed in 2022. Approximately 50% of those
patients will receive some form of radiation therapy. Radiotherapy is an extremely effective, common treatment for
cancer. But there will be long-term side effects for roughly 30,000 patients who will undergo the treatment.
The effects of radiation therapy can manifest in a broad spectrum of side effects. Early and late effects can range
from a short-term loss of appetite to much more serious illnesses like osteoradionecrosis and osteomyelitis.
Some of the more serious late effects of radiotherapy can cause serious conditions including soft tissue
radionecrosis (STRN), chronic radiation tissue injury (CRTI), and osteoradionecrosis (ORN). According to UCLA
Health:
As many as 10 to 15 percent of patients receiving high doses of radiotherapy will experience these late side
effects from radiotherapy, which may be delayed for several months or years after treatment has ended.
These conditions can cause chronic and non-healing wounds without effective treatment.
At St. John's Hospital Camarillo Hyperbaric Medicine and Wound Healing Center we’re giving patients suffering from the late effects of radiotherapy hope for better
outcomes with CMS-approved, effective HBOT treatments. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is shown to reduce, and
even reverse three root causes of radiation therapy side effects: Hypoxia, Hypovascularity & Hypocellularity.

The experts at Hyperbaric Aware sum up the healing effects and outcomes resulting from HBOT:
HBO2 is able to reverse some of the effects of radiation therapy by stimulating blood vessel growth in previously
irradiated tissue. This can be used before and after surgery to increase the chance of healing. This has benefited
thousands of patients who have had complications of radiation to the head and neck, bladder, bowel, and breast,
resulting in decreased symptoms and increased healing.
That’s excellent news for patients suffering from hypoxia, hypovascularity, and hypocellularity caused by
radiation-induced wounds.
At St. John's Hospital Camarillo Hyperbaric Medicine and Wound Healing Center, we offer safe, non-invasive, Medicare-approved treatments for patients suffering
from STRN, CRTI, and ORN resulting from the late effects of radiotherapy.
There are positive outcomes and treatments available for doctors, patients, and wound care teams in healthcare
organizations of all sizes, capabilities, and scopes. For more information on game-changing treatment plans for
patients with chronic wounds of diverse etiologies, including STRN, CRTI, and ORN resulting from the late effects of radiotherapy.
