ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to see how effective and safe hyperbaric oxygen therapy is as a treatment for women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer before they undergo surgery. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room, which may help improve treatment outcomes for some patients. The study aims to recruit women between the ages of 18 and 60 who have specific types of breast cancer that haven't spread to other parts of the body and are suitable for this type of treatment.

To be eligible, participants must understand the study, agree to take part, and meet certain health criteria, such as having a good overall health status and not having specific lung or heart issues. Women who qualify will receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy along with their usual cancer treatment. While the trial is not yet recruiting, it’s an important step in exploring new options for breast cancer treatment, and participants can expect to contribute valuable information that could help other patients in the future.
