At Cellregen, we’re always looking for ways to bring you the latest science and insights into innovative health therapies. We're excited to share some fascinating developments in the world of cancer care—specifically around the growing role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as a supportive treatment. If you or someone you know is navigating a cancer journey, this emerging research may offer new hope and options.

For many years, the role of oxygen in cancer treatment sparked debate. Until recently, it was commonly believed that oxygen might actually help cancer spread. This concern came from early studies observing that some tumors thrived in oxygen-rich environments due to a process called angiogenesis—where tumors stimulated the growth of new blood vessels.

However, with advances in cancer biology and new research, this view has significantly shifted.

Today, scientists and clinicians are increasingly recognising that cancer actually struggles to survive in oxygen-rich environments. Many cancers are now classified as hypoxic diseases, meaning they thrive and become more aggressive in low-oxygen areas of the body. Tumours often create these low-oxygen “pockets,” making them resistant to traditional treatments like radiation and chemotherapy.

➡️ Enter Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

HBOT is a treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This significantly boosts the amount of oxygen dissolved in the bloodstream, allowing it to reach tissues that typically don’t receive adequate oxygen—especially the low-oxygen zones at the core of tumours.

How can HBOT Support Cancer Patients

Improves Tumour Oxygenation: By flooding the body with oxygen, HBOT disrupts the hypoxic zones that tumours use for protection, making them more responsive to treatments.
Enhances the Effectiveness of Radiation and Chemotherapy: Studies suggest that HBOT can increase the sensitivity of cancer cells to radiation and some chemotherapies, improving treatment outcomes.
Reduces Side Effects of Treatment: HBOT is FDA-approved for treating radiation injuries like osteoradionecrosis and soft tissue damage. It can help heal tissue and reduce the long-term effects of radiation therapy.
Strengthens the Immune System: Adequate oxygen supports immune function, helping the body better recognize and attack cancer cells.
Complements Integrative Therapies: Many integrative oncology programs now include HBOT alongside nutritional support, detoxification, and immune-boosting strategies for a whole-body approach.

From Oxygen Concern to Oxygen Confidence

It’s a remarkable shift—from fearing that oxygen might “feed” cancer, to understanding that oxygen may actually help to stop it.

While HBOT is not a cure for cancer on its own, it is increasingly recognised as a powerful supportive therapy that can enhance overall treatment outcomes and improve quality of life.

As research continues, more healthcare providers—including oncologists and integrative medicine practitioners—are incorporating HBOT into cancer care protocols. The future of cancer treatment is not just about eliminating cancer cells; it's about supporting the body’s natural healing systems. And oxygen—one of the body’s most vital elements—is proving to be a key player in that journey.
