Radiation therapy, while targeting cancer cells, can damage healthy surrounding tissue by causing inflammation and destroying small blood vessels, leading to poor oxygen supply and chronic wounds. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps reverse this radiation damage by stimulating the growth of new blood vessels in irradiated tissue through enhanced oxygen delivery. The increased oxygen levels activate stem cells and growth factors essential for tissue regeneration. This process, called angiogenesis, gradually restores blood flow to radiation-damaged areas, improving tissue health and healing radiation-induced complications like osteoradionecrosis and radiation cystitis.
