Purpose: This study aimed to study the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on chest anatomy and tumor motion in patients receiving radiation therapy.Methods and Materials: Patients with primary or secondary lung tumors, left-sided breast cancer, or liver metastases referred for radiation therapy were trained to breathe with a CPAP device using a face mask to a maximal pressure of 15 cm H2O. Three- and 4-dimensional computed tomography simulation was performed twice for each patient: once with free breathing (FB) and again using CPAP. Volumetric and dosimetric parameters of treatment plans were compared.Results: Forty-nine patients were enrolled, of whom 6 withdrew consent before simulation and 3 withdrew because of discomfort. Thus, a total of 40 patients were analyzed. Twenty-seven patients (67.5%) were treated with CPAP based on confirmation of the volumetric or dosimetric benefit of CPAP. Mean lung volume increased by 37% (P
