Breathing Control Device for Lung Cancer Radiation
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a single lung cancer tumor located in the outer part of the lung
- Your doctors have determined you are a good candidate for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), a precise type of radiation
- You are willing to use a chest and abdominal compression device during treatment to keep your lungs steady
- You are able to cooperate with breathing control techniques during the procedure
- Your tumor is not in the central area of the lung (near major airways or heart)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a personalized radiation treatment called SBRT for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer that is located in the outer part of the lung and cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this approach works well for people who cannot have surgery or choose not to.
This trial studies how safe and effective a type of focused radiation called SBRT is for cancer tumors in certain chest locations. It’s meant for people whose tumor is small (up to 5 cm) and who don’t have widespread, uncontrolled spread.
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.
This trial tests a newer, more precise way of giving radiation for lung cancer tumors that are near the center of the chest. The goal is to see if using a smaller treatment area can reduce side effects while still killing the cancer.
This trial tests if using a simple breathing exercise device (called an incentive spirometer) during chemo and radiation for advanced lung cancer can help improve breathing outcomes and overall recovery.
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.
