Cancer

Participants in this study will receive hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) but the investigators do not assign this specific intervention to the study participants. Thus, the patients in this study will receive HBOT as part of routine medical care. Consequently, we regard this as an observational study because the patients will get HBOT independently of the study and they are NOT assigned prospectively to HBOT according to a protocol to evaluate the effects.
HBOT for pelvic radiation injury typically involves a treatment pressure of 2.4 ATA (Atmospheres Absolute) breathing oxygen for 90 minutes. The treatment is delivered as series treatment, usually daily treatment up to 30 dives.

Pelvic Radiation Injuries After Cancer Treatment: Symptoms, Quality of Life and Experiences Before, Along and After Hyperbaric Oxygenation Treatment

Self reported quality of life scale, European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC QLQ C30) scale, 30 questions, 4-point Likert scale 0-3 for 28 items, 0-6 for two items, total score 0-100 (100=highest level of functioning/ best score)

Expanded Prostate Cancer Index (EPIC) questionnaire, urinary (12 items) and bowel (14 items) subscores, 3- to 5-point Likert scale, sum-score 0-100 (0=worst symptoms)

Expanded Prostate Cancer Index (EPIC) questionnaire, urinary (12 items) and bowel (14 items) subscores, 3- to 5-point Likert scale, sum-score 0-100 (0=worst symptoms), improvement defined as a higher score of at least 0,5 standard deviations based on the study population

Total score of EORTC in-PATSAT 32 (European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer, In-patient satisfaction With care), 32 questions, 5-point Likert scale, total score 0-100, higher score = more satisfied with care

We plan to make IPD available to other researchers on NSD (Norwegian Scientific Data).
