Abstract
Nano-robotics is introduced for the nuclear industry for radiation treatment as a complete cure of cancer because it leads to the removal of cancerous cells. In order to ensure the reliability of treatment, one needs to control the radiation behavior of the therapy. The omni-directional cancer treatment program (OCTP) is suggested for the therapy planning in which all cancerous cells are killed without damage to normal cells. This is one of the most important issues in the conventional radiation therapy planning. The clinical cancer therapy planning is performed by nanorobots. The tiny machine treats the cancer cells effectively. The collision event occurs approximately over 35Â nm. Therefore, if the diameter of tumor is 1Â cm, the curable length is about 5Â nm. Thus, one movement of nanorobot radiates about 10Â nm in two dimensional planning. The example organ in this study is the breast. Nanorobots enter from the upper side of breast and exit from the lower side of the breast in the clinical example.
