Effect of continuous positive airway pressure administration during lung stereotactic ablative radiotherapy: a  comparative planning study

ConclusionsIn patients referred for SABR for lung tumours, CPAP increased lung volume without modifying tumour motion or baseline shift. As a  result, CPAP allowed for a slight decrease in radiation dose to the lungs, which is unlikely to be clinically significant.
