Modeling and Optimization of Respiratory-Gated Proton Therapy for Breast Cancer Using Monte Carlo Simulation, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Vosoughi, Naser (Supervisor) ; Mahani, Hojjatollah (Supervisor)
Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and has a growing rate. A combination of the proton beam and Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) strategy can be effective in the case of the respiratory-induced target motion for breast cancer treatment. Due to the proximity of breast tissue to the two critical organ at risks (OARs) such as the lungs and heart, breast cancer proton therapy requires special considerations. The use of proton therapy with respiratory considerations (respiratory-gated), although a powerful way to control the mobile targets in breast cancer proton therapy, but needs to be optimized and improved as much as efficiency.The simulation and modeling of the...
