Prone Patient Positioning in Reducing Tumor Motion and Improving Breathing Reproduction in Patients With Lung Cancer Undergoing Radiation Therapy
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.
