Summary
This study tests whether a CPAP device (commonly used for sleep apnea) can reduce tumor movement during lung cancer radiation therapy. About 30 people will compare CPAP with the standard breath-holding technique. The goal is to see which method better stabilizes the tumor, potentially making radiation more accurate and safer.
