Breathing training for breast cancer radiation therapy

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 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 study compares two types of radiation therapy for left breast cancer: one using a breath-holding technique to protect the heart, and another without it. The goal is to see which is safer and more effective for women who have had surgery.

This study tests whether a breathing muscle exercise program can help prevent respiratory weakness in adults recently diagnosed with breast cancer who are scheduled for surgery. It aims to improve recovery and overall breathing strength.

This trial tests whether simple mindfulness breathing exercises can help manage symptoms in people who are starting chemotherapy for breast cancer. You will be asked to practice breathing exercises and report how you feel.

This trial tests whether holding your breath during imaging scans can help doctors aim radiation therapy more precisely at upper abdominal cancers while protecting nearby healthy organs. The goal is to reduce side effects by improving treatment accuracy.
