Recent external radiotherapy requires precise localization of the target because advance in diagnostic imaging has made it possible to visualize a tiny tumor which would be curable with focused high dose irradiation. However, tumors in respiratory and bowel organs have been difficult to be given the high dose because of 1 to 3 cm movement during delivery of irradiation. Respiratory-gating techniques have been used with medical linear accelerators and particle therapy machines. Real-time tumortracking radiotherapy has been realized using fluoroscopic x-rays, internal gold-markers, and pattern recognition technology. Advantage and disadvantage of each gating technique have been realized. Active breath control method would be a cost-effective way of precise treatment without gating. More work is required to find the relationship between abdominal wall and internal movement of the tumor in many respiratorygating radiotherapy and between the internal markers and target volume in real-time tracking radiotherapy.
