Sleep apnea device repurposed to shield organs during cancer radiation
NCT ID NCT05142358
Summary
This study tested whether a common breathing device (CPAP) could make radiation therapy safer for people with lung cancer or left-sided breast cancer. Researchers wanted to see if using the CPAP device during treatment planning could reduce the amount of radiation that reaches healthy lung and heart tissue. The study involved 8 participants and compared radiation doses with and without the CPAP device, without changing their standard cancer treatment.
