Abstract: Radiation therapy is one of many common treatments applied to breast cancer. Most usual radiation sources applied are ionizing radiation, such as g-rays and X-rays, and non-ionizing radiation such as ultraviolet radiation. The possibility of using near infrared light to photoactivate a drug inside an 8 cm diameter biological object is discussed in this work via Monte Carlo simulations. Two simulation setups performed in the Geant4/GAMOS framework are presented in order to study the viability of photoactivating a drug by using several near infrared light sources. The overall objective of this technique is to minimize energy concentrated at objects surface and maximize it in a predefined region of interest. Results show an increase energy absorption in the desired region of interest inside a 8 cm object, when a higher absorption particle is present. With the use of multiple sources it is possible to photoactivate the drug while causing minimal damage to the surface of the radiated obje ct. (More)
