Review of Effectiveness of High Dose Ozone Therapy on Oncology Patients
Type: Review Article
Author: Andres Felipe Rodriguez Molina and David Aurelio Contreras Galindo*
Summary
This review explores high-dose ozone therapy as a complementary cancer treatment. Ozone generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), which selectively target cancer cells with lower antioxidant defenses, inducing apoptosis (cell death).
The therapy may improve tumor oxygenation, enhancing radiotherapy effectiveness, and modulate immune responses by activating immune cells. Studies suggest ozone can reduce side effects from chemotherapy and radiotherapy, improving patient quality of life.
While results are promising, the review highlights the need for standardized dosing protocols and large-scale trials.
