First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a CPAP breathing mask during radiation therapy for early-stage breast cancer can lower radiation doses to the heart and lungs. About 53 women with left-sided breast cancer will receive radiation with CPAP support. The goal is to reduce long-term heart and lung side effects without changing cancer treatment.
