Reexpansion of atelectasis caused by use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) before radiation therapy (RT)
Introduction: Although radiation therapy (RT) is an effective treatment for malignant atelectasis, its accurate delivery is challenging because of difficulty differentiating between tumor and atelectatic lung. Furthermore, reexpansion of lung during treatment repositions tumor and normal structures...
