Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present a systematic review of the current characteristics and recent development of commercially available respiratory motion solutions and their compensation possibilities in the external beam radiotherapy treatment of lung cancer. The most commonly used X-ray and radiotherapeutic technologies are presented, as well as their division into pre-treatment methods and intra-treatment verification. The article discusses the most important technological achievements that allow radiation to be safely applied in the lung region and reports the potential advantages and limitations of each. Finally, it presents details concerning selected research trends and problems related to motion compensation.
期刊介绍：
NOWOTWORY Journal of Oncology publishes papers which cover all aspects of oncology but concentrates on clinical studies, both research orientated and treatment orientated, rather than on laboratory studies. Contributions are also welcomed from the fields of epidemiology, tumor pathology, radiobiology and radiation physics.
