Monte Carlo-based dose calculation for 32 P patch source for superficial brachytherapy applications

Monte Carlo-based dose calculation for 32 P patch source for superficial brachytherapy applications

Skin cancer treatment involving 32 P source is an easy, less expensive method of treatment limited to small and superficial lesions of approximately 1 mm deep. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) has indigenously developed 32 P nafion-based patch source (1 cm Χ 1 cm) for treating skin cancer. For t...
