Some patients with bulky advanced lung cancer are not able to lie down because of dyspnea. We therefore designed a technique for irradiation in a sitting position by using a dedicated chair. The reproducibility of the sitting position was high and all ten patients preferred this position over lying down. In selected patients who are unable to lie down, palliative irradiation in a sitting position may be an option.
一些患有大块晚期肺癌的患者由于呼吸困难而无法躺下。因此,我们设计了一种使用专用椅子进行坐姿照射的技术。坐姿的可重复性很高,所有10名患者都更喜欢这种姿势而不是躺着。对于选定的无法躺下的患者,坐姿姑息性照射可能是一种选择。
