[ 1 ] - Dosimetric Evaluation of Target Volume in Breast Boost Radiotherapy: Comparison of Electron and Photon Beam

Background and purpose: Breast‑conserving surgery followed by radiation therapy to the whole breast is now recognized as a standard strategy in patients with breast cancer. Recommended technique for radiotherapy is whole breast irradiation followed by boost to the tumor bed. This study aimed to compare the dosimetric parameters of electron and photon beams for boosting irradia­tion in post‑lump...

[ 2 ] - Evaluation of Lung Dose in Esophageal Cancer Radiotherapy Using Monte Carlo Simulation

Background and purpose: Radiation therapy make an important contribution in the control and treatment of cancers. Lungs are the main organs at risk in esophageal cancer radiotherapy. Difference between the dose distribution due to the treatment planning system (TPS) and the patient's body dose is dependent on the calculation of the treatment planning system algorithm, which is more pronounced i...
