A simulation study on using 252Cf for the treatment of esophagus tumor in human phantom

Abstract Due to the sensitivity of this tissue, and the potential for metastasis of its cancer as well, finding accurate methods to be employed for the treatment of esophagus tumors is of especial interest for the researchers. The present study deals with a Monte Carlo simulation of 252Cf neutron br...
