Abstract

SUMMARY
Up to now, beside two conventional methods are using electron beam and photon beam, radiotherapy using high energy proton beam has been attracted more and more scientists and hospitals. In this work, we using CERR program to make a treatment planning. The simulation results show that the treatment plan is better compared with by photon beam. The risk organs surrounding the tumour received negligible low dose. So the side effect decreases
significantly. We also make a comparison the treatment planning by proton beam with by photon beam.
