No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This clinical trial studies prone patient positioning in reducing tumor motion and improving breathing reproduction in patients with lung cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Prone patient positioning during radiation therapy may help kill tumor cells without harming normal tissue.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

computed tomography

Undergo conventional CT scan in both supine and prone positioning

PROCEDURE
