Practice breath-control at home before breast radiation
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study helps women with left-sided breast cancer (or DCIS) learn a breathing technique to use during radiation. It tests whether practicing with a home mobile app before treatment is feasible and helpful for preparing you for radiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have left-sided breast cancer or DCIS
- Plan to receive radiation therapy using a breath-control technique called DIBH
- Be getting radiation with a curative (treat-to-cure) plan, not for symptom relief only
- Have your planning CT scan at least 7 days from now, up to 4 weeks
- Have a smart phone and enough Swedish to use the app and answer surveys/interview questions

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.
This trial checks how well a breathing technique (deep inspiration breath-hold) works when you have radiation to the lymph nodes in your chest. It looks at whether holding your breath during treatment helps protect your heart and lungs.
This study tests a smartphone or computer-based educational program designed to help breast cancer patients who are about to start radiation therapy. The program uses artificial intelligence to provide personalized information and support during your treatment.
This trial tests whether a special breathing exercise can help you hold your breath longer during radiation therapy for breast cancer. It may make treatment more precise and help protect nearby organs.
This study tests a smartphone app that combines relaxation techniques and mental health support for women receiving chemotherapy before breast cancer surgery. It aims to reduce anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and emotional distress during cancer treatment.
This study tests a mobile app designed to help cancer patients manage their diet, nutrition, and physical activity during and after radiation treatment. The app sends reminders and tips to support healthy habits, which may help you feel better and stay stronger during treatment.
