CPAP breathing support during breast and lung or liver radiation
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a CPAP machine to help control breathing makes radiation delivery safer and more accurate for certain breast, lung, or liver cancers. It may help reduce movement during treatment, which can matter for precision radiotherapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have confirmed invasive breast cancer, and your doctor plans radiation to the breast or chest wall plus nearby lymph nodes
- You are also considered suitable for a specific lung or liver radiation treatment called SABR based on the clinic’s standard rules
- You are able and willing to sign an informed consent form

This trial tests whether using a CPAP mask during daily radiation treatments for breast cancer can help protect your heart. It is for women who had a lumpectomy and need radiation to the left breast or to the right breast with lymph nodes.
This study tests whether using a breathing machine (CPAP or BiPAP) can help keep you still during radiation treatment. This may improve how accurately radiation is delivered for certain cancers treated with curative intent.
This study tests whether using a CPAP mask (which gently pushes air into your airways) during radiation therapy makes treatment safer and more effective for esophageal cancer. It is for adults who are planning radiation and can tolerate wearing the mask.
This study looks at whether using a CPAP breathing device or deep breath-holding can keep lung tumors from moving during targeted radiation. The goal is to improve safety and accuracy of stereotactic body radiation for lung cancer.
This trial tests a new device that helps control your breathing during radiation therapy for early-stage lung cancer. By keeping your lungs still during treatment, the radiation is more accurate and may reduce side effects.
This trial tests whether a special breathing technique (called Active Breathing Coordinator) can help keep radiation away from the heart while treating breast cancer with radiation therapy. If you can hold your breath briefly during treatment, this might lower the risk of heart damage.
