Evaluation of Lung Dose in Esophageal Cancer Radiotherapy Using Monte Carlo Simulation

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...
