ADJUVANT OZONETHERAPY IN ADVANCED HEAD AND NECK TUMORS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY In conclusion, tumor hypoxia and ischemia are known to limit treatment efficacy and, hence, the alleviation of such a predisposition to poorer treatment outcome is seen as beneficial. Ozonetherapy can produce an improvement in blood flow and oxygenation in some tissues and although our findings need to be viewed with caution because of the limited number of patients enrolled, ozonetherapy appears to have had some positive effect during the treatment of patients with advanced H&N tumors. The potential usefulness of ozonetherapy as an adjuvant in chemo–radiotherapy for these tumors warrants further investigation.
