A Phase I/II Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy for Breast Cancer
CPAP demonstrated both safety and efficacy for breast cancer RT, achieving significant reductions in cardiac and pulmonary radiation exposure. These findings support further investigation of CPAP as a novel respiratory motion management strategy. Future studies are warranted to identify optimal CPAP pressure levels to facilitate broader clinical implementation.
