Radiotherapy,
also called radiation therapy, is the treatment of cancer and other diseases
with ionizing radiation.” Ionizing radiation deposits energy that destroys
cells in the area being treated by damaging their genetic material, making it
impossible for these cells to continue to grow. Although radiations damage both
cancer cells and normal cells, but the normal cells are able to repair
themselves and function properly again.
The aim
of radiation therapy is to spare normal tissues (such as skin or organs which
radiation must pass through in order to treat the tumor) and cause as much
damage as it can to the cancerous cells. For this purpose radiation beams are
shaped and are aimed from several angles of exposure to intersect at the tumor,
providing a much larger absorbed
dose at the
target than in the surrounding healthy tissue.
It is also common to combine radiation therapy
with surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy or some
mixture of the four.
Usually
there are two types of radiation therapy. The first, and most common type is
external beam radiotherapy, and the second one is known as internal
radiotherapy, or brachytherapy. The external beam radiotherapy is carried out
using x-rays, gamma rays, and particle beams, including electron beam, or proton beams. This is always the
choice of physicist to select the most appropriate beam according to the need
of the treatment. Physicists must know the detail characteristics of all the
beams used for such treatment, including their attenuation properties,
percentage depth dose, and other Dosimetric parameters.
Usually
Cobalt-60 and linear accelerators are used for external beam radiotherapy. In
cobalt-60 (which is most common in various cancer hospitals in Pakistan), gamma
rays are used to treat the malignant tumors. These rays give a gamma beam of
average energy 1.25 MeV. However, the problem with these radiation sources is
that there is a continuous decay ( and half-life of Cobalt-60 is 5.26 years).
This work aims to evaluate the effect of this decay and then to determine some
mechanism to calculate the radiation dose after incorporating that decay
effect.
The
Cobalt-60 tele-therapy units are installed in many hospitals of Pakistan Atomic
Energy Commission. In this project, the commissioning data will be obtained
from Bahawalpur Institute of Nuclear Medicine & Oncology (BINO),
Bahawalpur, and from any other cancer hospital if needed. The data will later
be analyzed with various software’s, and the some conclusion will ultimately be
made.
Expected
Outcome
Once the
effect of decay on the treatment is known, it will be helpful to modify the
dose calculations, and hence will help to increase the accuracy of treatment.
The objective of radiotherapy treatment is always to deliver maximum dose to
the target volume, and to spare the surrounding normal tissues as much as
possible. The incorporation of these results, will aid to achieve the desired
dose distribution in target tumors and to achieve the true objectives of the
treatment.
