Extra oxygen therapy for colorectal cancer patients on chemo
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether breathing extra oxygen (normobaric oxygen therapy) can help people with colorectal cancer who are receiving chemotherapy. The goal is to see if oxygen therapy improves outcomes or reduces side effects.

This trial tests adding hyperbaric oxygen (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) before standard chemotherapy for breast cancer. The goal is to see if it helps shrink the tumor more effectively before surgery.
This study tests adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) to standard neoadjuvant therapy (treatment before surgery) for people with hormone receptor positive breast cancer. The goal is to see if it helps shrink tumors more effectively while being safe.
This study tests whether short bursts of low oxygen (intermittent hypoxia) can help treat early-stage colorectal cancer. It's designed for people with stage I or II colorectal cancer who are otherwise healthy.
This trial tests if adding hyperbaric oxygen (breathing pure oxygen in a high-pressure chamber) to standard pre-surgery treatment can help women with triple-negative or HER2-positive breast cancer. The goal is to see if it makes treatment work better and is safe.
This trial tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can slow the growth of breast cancer that has spread to the lungs. You would receive this treatment alongside standard care if your cancer has grown despite prior chemotherapy.
This trial tests a treatment that delivers oxygen directly to the gut through a small tube. It is for people with long-term heart failure or sleep apnea who also have belly pain, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea.
