[The future of hyperbaric oxygen therapy: added value in the treatment of late radiation injury?]. / De toekomst van hyperbare zuurstoftherapie: Toegevoegde waarde bij de behandeling van late radiatieschade?

There is some evidence for the benefit of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in late radiation tissue injury (LRTI) affecting the head, neck and lower bowel, but there is little evidence for or against the benefit in other tissues (e.g. the breast) affected by LRTI. There is a need for large prospective trials including quality-of-life and cost-effectiveness studies, because hyperbaric oxygen therapy is becoming more popular.
