Continuous Positive Airway Pressure-Assisted Breathing With Supine Tangential Left Breast Radiation Therapy When Deep Inspiration Breath-Hold Radiation Therapy Was Ineffective or Unsuitable: Clinical Implications for an Affordable Heart-Sparing Breast Radiation Therapy to Reduce the Health Care Disparities in Low-Resource Settings

CONCLUSIONS: CPAP-RT provides efficient and practical heart and LAD sparing RT using simple supine tangential fields for Breast-RT or wide-tangential fields for Breast + IMN-RT when DIBH-RT was ineffective or unsuitable. With its easy accessibility and low infrastructural requirement, CPAP-RT can provide affordable heart-sparing left breast RT to reduce the health care disparities in low-resource settings.PMID:38681888 | PMC:PMC11043812 | DOI:10.1016/j.adro.2024.101472
