First seen May 12, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether using a breathing machine (CPAP or BiPAP) can reduce tumor movement during radiation therapy for people with advanced lung cancer, esophageal cancer, or lymphoma. The goal is to see if these devices help keep the tumor still, which could make treatment more precise and reduce side effects. About 31 adults will take part.
