Holding your breath could make cancer radiation safer and stronger
NCT ID NCT07594691
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new way to give radiation for abdominal cancer. By having patients hold their breath at different points (inhale and exhale) during treatment, doctors aim to deliver a higher dose to the tumor while protecting nearby healthy organs. The study will enroll 15 adults whose tumors are close to sensitive organs. The goal is to see if this technique improves treatment without increasing side effects.
