https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbogen@legalcanada, carbogen is a gas that's inhaled at the same time that radiation is given. It's supposed to make the tumor (but unfortunately surrounding tissue) more radiosensitive. The objective is to enhance the effects of radiation to need less of it to live longer. 80% of childhood cancer patients survive, but almost 100% have "late effects" aka shortened life.
