## Abstract Irradiation impairs wound healing owing to reduced vascularity with an increased susceptibility to infection. The case histories of 4 patients with carcinoma of the larynx who have had irradiation and subsequent laryngectomies followed by hyperbaric oxygen therapy are described. It is t

## Abstract ## Background. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO~2~) is used to promote healing in irradiated tissues, but concern persists about the possibility that it may promote residual tumor growth. ## Methods. The tumor growth of SQ20B and Detroit 562 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma xenografts wer
## Background: The importance of hypoxia in limiting the sensitivity of tumor cells to ionizing radiation has long been known. ## Methods: We evaluated the tissue oxygenation status with a polarographic needle electrode system in 37 patients with malignancies of the head and neck and correlated t
This manuscript will review the probable role of reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) in the etiopathogenesis of head and neck cancer (HNC). Cancer is a heterogeneous disorder with multiple etiologies including somatic and germ-line mutations, cellular homeostatic disturbances, and environmental trigge
