Objective To investigate the application effect of respiratory gating technique in lung cancer patients with liver metastasis undergoing radiotherapy.Method A total of 82 lung cancer patients with liver metastasis were di-vided into control group and observation group,with 41 cases in each group.The control group received conventional ra-diotherapy,and the observation group received radiotherapy using respiratory gating technique.The clinical efficacy,tar-get area volume[gross tumor volume(GTV),internal target volume(ITV),planning target volume(PTV)],tumor mark-ers[carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),carbohydrate antigen 125(CA125),cyto-keratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1(CY-FRA21-1)],liver function indexes[total bilirubin(TBIL),aspartate transaminase(AST),alanine transaminase(ALT)],and quality of life[World Health Organization quality of life assessment-brief(WHOQOL-BREF)]were compared be-tween the two groups.Result The disease control rate of observation group was higher than that of control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The ITV and PTV in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01).After treatment,the CEA,CA125,CY-FRA21-1,TBIL,AST and ALT levels in both groups were lower than those before treatment,and the CEA,CA125,CY-FRA21-1,TBIL,AST and ALT levels in observation group were lower than those in control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of all dimensions of WHOQOL-BREF in both groups were higher than those before treatment,and the scores of all dimensions of WHOQOL-BREF in observation group were higher than those in control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Respiratory gating technique in lung cancer patients with liver metastasis undergoing radiotherapy has a good application effect,which can improve the target delineation accuracy and radiotherapy efficacy,reduce the level of tumor markers,improve liver function indicators and quality of life.
