Abstract
Over the past few decades, brachytherapy has been used as one of the leading methods in the treatment of a wide range of cancers, including breast cancer. Due to the high dose gradient of brachytherapy radiation sources, this method is used to treat such tumors that are grown at the vicinity of sensitive points or tissues of the body. Therefore, as irradiation get started by implanting radiation sources in the desired position, at the same time healthy tissue are also receiving the same dose as tumor tissues do Reducing healthy tissue dose along with increasing the dose of tumor tissue is one of the challenging topics that researchers are always looking for a solution. In the left breast...
