Presentation: Hyperbaric Therapy in Oncology: Research Overview, Practical Applications and NSCLC Case Study

Hyperbaric Therapy has many applications in integrative medicine. Tanya will outline the differences between High-pressure and Mild Hyperbaric Therapy, and the utilisation of 100% oxygen, air-only and hydrogen gas applications with a discussion of the research for each. A thorough overview of the general clinical applications of mild hyperbaric therapy will be provided. The oncology application will focus on mild hyperbaric therapy with hydrogen gas in a case study presentation of a patient with Non Small Cell Lung Carcinoma.
