Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Device or Deep Inspiration Breath Hold in Reducing Tumor Motion in Patients Undergoing Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Lung Cancer

Summary

This pilot phase I/II trial studies how well a continuous positive airway pressure device or deep inspiration breath hold works in reducing tumor movement in patients undergoing stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for lung cancer. The continuous positive airway pressure device works by blowing air into the lungs while patients wear a face mask or nozzle to help expand their airways and lungs. Deep inspiration breath hold is a standard technique that uses active breath-holding to restrict movement of the body.
