South Africa's First Cancer Hyperbaric Centre

Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy is one of the most cutting edge and elegant methods of healing available!

Care for Cancer Foundation is making a significant impact in helping treat patients suffering from the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation  through the use of Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy. The therapy involves the patient being treated with 100% pure oxygen in a chamber where the atmospheric pressure can be increased under regulated conditions. This enables blood oxygen levels to be temporarily raised to support healing of sickness underpinned by low tissue oxygenation. This increase in the oxygen levels in the blood speeds up cell repair in cancer patients. 

We have partnered with healthcare providers in Durban to offer Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy to patients who have undergone chemotherapy and radiation treatment. This therapy has been found to be particularly effective in reducing side effects such as fatigue, nausea, and skin and tissue damage.

Care for Cancer Foundation has successfully implemented a program to provide Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy to patients who need it, ensuring that they have access to the best possible care and support during their recovery. This has made a significant impact in improving the quality of life for patients and helping them to recover more quickly from the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.

The foundation's successful implementation of Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy has helped to change the cancer landscape and improve the lives of patients and their families. By continuing to work with healthcare providers and other partners, Care for Cancer Foundation is committed to making a positive difference in the fight against cancer in South Africa.

5 Amazing Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy !

  1. Improved Healing: Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy provides a high concentration of oxygen to the body, which can enhance the body's natural healing process, particularly in areas that are difficult to reach with topical oxygen.
  2. Increased Energy: The increased oxygen levels in the body can help to boost energy levels and reduce feelings of fatigue, allowing patients to better cope with the physical and emotional demands of cancer treatment.
  3. Enhanced Immune System: Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy can increase the oxygen levels in the blood, which can help to stimulate the immune system and improve its ability to fight infection and disease.
  4. Reduced Pain: The therapy can also help to reduce pain, particularly in patients with conditions such as osteoradionecrosis, which is a common side effect of radiation treatment.
  5. Better Sleep: The therapy has been shown to improve sleep patterns, which can be particularly beneficial for patients who are experiencing difficulty sleeping due to side effects from chemotherapy or radiation.
  6. Improved Oxygenation of Tissues: By increasing the amount of oxygen available to the body, hyperbaric oxygenation therapy can help to improve the oxygenation of tissues and promote healing.
  7. Reduced Inflammation: The therapy has been shown to reduce inflammation and promote healthy cell growth, which can be particularly beneficial for patients undergoing cancer treatment.
  8. Enhanced Mental Health: Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy can help to reduce stress and anxiety, and improve mood, helping patients to better cope with the emotional and psychological demands of cancer treatment.
  9. Reduced Side Effects: The therapy has been shown to reduce the severity of common side effects from chemotherapy and radiation, such as nausea, vomiting, and skin and tissue damage.
  10. Improved Quality of Life: By reducing pain, improving sleep patterns, and boosting energy levels, hyperbaric oxygenation therapy can help to improve the overall quality of life for cancer patients, allowing them to better cope with the physical and emotional demands of their treatment.
