Selectiecriteria
biopsy-proven radiation cystitis and severe haematuria.
Methode
We report the results of a prospective study of hyperbaric oxygen (20 sessions of 100% oxygen inhalation at 3 bar for 90 min in a multiplace hyperbaric chamber)
Resultaat
Haematuria disappeared completely or improved in 37 patients after treatment. Mean follow-up was 23.1 months (range 1-74); and the recurrence rate was 0.12/year. There were no adverse effects.
Conclusie
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment should be considered for patients with severe radiation-induced haematuria.
