Description

Gliomas are the most common brain tumour in adults. Glioblastoma (GBM) is a type of tumor that is highly lethal despite maximal therapy. Tumor-related endothelial cells are of neoplastic nature and have malignant properties such as proliferation and invasion. Therefore, antiangiogenic approaches have several advantages compared with conventional chemotherapeutic approaches. This study was undertaken to investigate the preventive or therapeutic effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in an established intracerebral tumor model. In this regard, parameters such as the tumor size, vascularization rate, midkine (MK), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), HIF-1 alpha, and caspase 3  were compared in the relevant groups.
