Radiotherapy is a widely recognised treatment for non-melanoma skin cancer. We
report three cases of radiation-induced skin ulcers in which hyperbaric oxygen
therapy was administered in 90-min sessions, 5 days a week at 2.4 absolute
atmospheres in a multiplace hyperbaric chamber. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an
outpatient treatment that does not displace other classical treatments and may
be used as an adjunct therapy.
