Abstract

 Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer
- related deaths. Recently, radiotherapy is being used extensively for the
treatment of patients suffering from cancer. Proton therapy is a very suitable
form of radiation therapy for tumors that occur in the vicinity of critical
tissues such as lung, due to the unique characteristics of the protons used in
the treatment. In this study, a geometry model with lung, heart, tumor and bone
structures in a water phantom is modeled with the Monte Carlo simulation tool
vGATE, version of 7.2. With this simulation, the accumulated dose are
calculated for each organ. 

Keywords
