Oxygen therapy under scrutiny: could it harm cancer Survivors' DNA?
NCT ID NCT06999785
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether repeated sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can damage DNA in people who have had radiation for cancer. HBOT is used to help heal tissues damaged by radiation, but it also creates reactive oxygen molecules that might harm DNA. Researchers will measure DNA damage in 60 adults receiving HBOT to better understand any long-term cancer risks.
