Proton and photon radiotherapy have become essential treatment methods in treating cancer. The number of radiation angles in therapy planning significantly influences the success of the therapy. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the dose distribution of proton and photon radiotherapy on Organs at Risk (OAR) based on the number of radiation beam angles. This study involves dosimetry planning using matRad to create a Treatment Planning System (TPS) to observe and compare the dose distribution on the tumor target and OAR. By varying the number of radiation angles, this study will evaluate the effectiveness of both radiotherapy methods in delivering an optimal dose to the target while minimizing the dose to OAR. The results of the study are expected to provide further insights into the impact of the number of angles on dose distribution, providing a basis for selecting a more accurate radiotherapy method and improving the quality of cancer care.
