Zusammenfassung:	An assisting method for radiotherapy is provided. The method detects the inspiratory and expiratory lung volumes of a patient lying on a supporting means to calculate displacement of the tumor adjacent to the diaphragm of the patient, and then drives the supporting means on which the patient lean to move in a direction opposite to the direction of the displacement of the tumor and in a distance equal to the distance of the displacement of the tumor, whereby the radioactive ray can be more accurately focused on the cancerous region of the patient. An assisting apparatus for radiotherapy is also proposed for enhancing the effect of radiotherapy treating on a tumor adjacent to the diaphragm.
