Abstract

We report the results of a prospective controlled trial of the effect of hyperbaric oxygen as an adjuvant in radiotherapy of head and neck cancer. Patients were allocated randomly to treatment in oxygen or air. The radiotherapy in both groups was identical in planning, dose, and fractionation--i.e., 3500 rads in 10 fractions in 3 weeks. There was no difference in the survival rate between the two groups. However, significantly better local tumour control was seen in the hyperbaric-oxygen group, particularly in smaller lesions; there was significantly greater need for salvage surgery in the air group. Radiation effects on normal tissue appeared somewhat greater in the oxygen series, especially on laryngeal cartilage.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
