Lung cancer has been the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women. Its five year survival rate is only 15%. One of the major reasons for its poor treatment outcome is the low accuracy of radiation delivery due to constant tumor motion caused by respiration. The solution to this problem is to track the location of the tumour accurately and guide the radiation toward the tumour.

肺癌一直是男性和女性癌症死亡的主要原因。其五年生存率仅为15%。其治疗效果不佳的主要原因之一是由于呼吸引起的肿瘤持续运动而导致的辐射输送的准确性低。这个问题的解决方案是准确地跟踪肿瘤的位置并将辐射引导到肿瘤。
