HBOT is a technique that is increasingly gaining momentum in the field of oncology and palliative care"

There is currently a resurgence in the use of hyperbaric oxygenation treatment as an adjuvant tool in different medical specialties. The creation of new generation hyperbaric chambers which are easier to use, more affordable and easier to install in public and private health institutions, has led different professionals to incorporate this tool into their daily practice.

This postgraduate certificate in HBOT in Oncology will provide an exhaustive analysis of the published evidence in different situations and will present the experience of the lecturers in the use of HBOT in different cases of radiotoxicity through clinical cases.

On the other hand, oncological safety is a point that considerably slows down the incorporation of this treatment in oncology patients. However, since 1950 this treatment has been evaluated as a radiosensitizer or modifier of hypoxia in some solid tumors where this factor can make impossible or diminish the efficacy of conventional treatments. Thus, experimental evidence of the role of hyperbaric oxygenation in angiogenesis and tumor growth is shown.

The incorporation of HBOT in the adjuvant of palliative treatment in the oncology patient could considerably improve the patient's quality of life. For this reason, we would like to present the evidence in this regard and discuss the future possibilities to be developed to evaluate its applications in situations other than the treatment of radioinduced lesions.
