Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Medical Physics
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Superficial skin cancers are often treated with radiation therapy.
  • Phosphorus-32 (32P) sources offer a localized and cost-effective treatment option.
  • Existing methods may have limitations in terms of source development and dose calculation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize an indigenously made (32)P nafion-based patch source for skin cancer treatment.
  • To accurately calculate the dose distribution and treatment parameters for this new radiation source.
  • To assess the feasibility of using this source for treating small, superficial skin lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the EGSnrc-based Monte Carlo code system for dose calculations.
  • Calculated dose per unit activity at various depths in water.
  • Determined dose profiles and central axis depth dose values for the (32)P nafion-based patch source.

Main Results:

  • Calculated central axis depth dose values of 3.62 × 10(-10) GyBq(-1) at 0.0125 mm and 8.41 × 10(-11) GyBq(-1) at 1 mm depth for a 1 Bq/cm(2) source.
  • Estimated a treatment time of approximately 2.7 hours to deliver a 30 Gy therapeutic dose at 1 mm depth using a 37 MBq source.

Conclusions:

  • The indigenously developed (32)P nafion-based patch source is a viable option for treating superficial skin cancers.
  • Monte Carlo simulations provide accurate dose calculations for treatment planning.
  • This method offers an accessible and efficient approach for localized radiation therapy in dermatology.
