Evaluation of Risk of Secondary Thyroid Cancer Caused by Neutron Dose Equivalent from Brain Tumor 3D-Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT)

Evaluation of Risk of Secondary Thyroid Cancer Caused by Neutron Dose Equivalent from Brain Tumor 3D-Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT)

Background: Thyroid cancer is one of the most common secondary malignancies as a result of receiving therapeutic doses to the head and neck. In this study, the probability of secondary thyroid cancer risk due to neutron contamination of 15 MV Siemens Linear Accelerator (LINAC) in brain tumor 3D-Conf...
