(The Scotsman 24/08/2009)
AN OXYGEN treatment given to divers with the "bends" is to be tried out on cancer patients suffering after radiotherapy.

The treatment is used to tackle decompression sickness in divers, and to help injured elite footballers heal more quickly. Doctors hope it will also alleviate unpleasant side effects associated with radiotherapy for cancer in the pelvic region.
