Monte Carlo Simulation of proton therapy for breast cancer in compressed breast phantom

Background: Generally in radiotherapy via photon, healthy cells can be damage besides cancer cells but in proton therapy these additional harms reach to its minimum. Because, proton deposit its maximum linear energy at the end of its trajectory known as Bragg pick. In this study, efficient range of...
