COMPLICATIONS OF CERVICAL RADIATION

    Often, effective treatment of cervical cancer may require radiation treatment as part of the strategy to totally destroy the malignancy before it has a chance to migrate to other tissues. Radiation treatment of the lower abdomen can result in small bowel or anal inflammation. This may appear after several months or a year with no symptoms.

    Bleeding, abnormal connections between any combinations of the bowel, vagina, bladder, rectum, and exterior skin create the potential for life-threatening infections.

    Hyperbaric oxygen treatment has completely or significantly resolved post-radiation bleeding and vaginal tissue death for numerous patients, drastically reducing the need for transfusion.

    HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY resolves symptoms for up to 75 percent of patients.
