3 sty 2020 · The potential influence of oxygen use on survival in patients with terminal cancer and low oxygen saturation may have important implications for end-of-life decision-making. The effect of oxygen on dyspnea in patients who are terminally ill has not been established.
22 lis 2019 · The critical balance of oxygen in human cells is regulated by an intricate oxygen-sensing process in the body. When cancer cells hijack the process, they can fuel their own growth, and gain the ability to metastasize and resist chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

1 sty 2020 · The relationship between cancer cells and oxygen is complicated, and, even with the discoveries of Kaelin and others, still being investigated. Cancer cells often are starved of oxygen — a condition called hypoxia.
19 mar 2021 · Hypoxia, a condition in which oxygen levels are lower than normal physiological oxygenation of tissues (4–9%), is a hallmark of solid tumors and an indicator of poor prognosis in many cancers including prostate, cervix, breast, head and neck cancers [4].
3 sty 2020 · Oxygen use was not significantly associated with survival in patients with advanced cancer and low oxygen saturation, after adjusting for potential confounders. It may not be necessary to use oxygen for prolongation of survival in such patients, particularly in those without dyspnea.
People with cancer can have different causes of shortness of breath, such as: Tumors in or near the lung. Other lung or breathing disorders. Side effects of cancer treatment (such as surgery, chemo, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or radiation) Fluid in or around the lungs or heart. A blocked airway. Pneumonia (a lung infection)
