Abstract :
In this paper, the breast cancer treatment using cavity applicator is proposed. For the convenience of the experiments, it was assumed that the breast was consisted of two materials, fat and cancer. The fat substituted for margarine and the cancer substituted for phantom, whose permittivities are similar to fat and cancer, respectively.
