Official Title: Randomized Double-Blind Controlled Phase III Trial of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Patients Suffering Long-Term Adverse Effects of Radiotherapy for Pelvic Cancer (HOT II)
Brief Summary:
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy can cause long-term adverse effects. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be effective in lessening gastrointestinal symptoms caused by radiation therapy given for pelvic cancer. It is not yet known whether high-pressure oxygen is effective in treating adverse effects caused by radiation therapy.
