Cancer cells require a low-oxygen environment to grow and thrive. By increasing the oxygen levels in the body’s tissues, oxygen therapy can help make it more difficult for cancer cells to survive and grow. It’s a supplementary therapy to support and enhance traditional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy and can also reduce the side effects of radiation therapy by improving tissue oxygenation.

Oxygen therapy can extend the body’s ability to heal and limit some of the damage which the disease causes.
