Sažetak
During radiotherapy out-of-field doses to normal tissue can lead to treatment associated side effects such as neurocognitive deficits, hypothyroidism, eyes disease, cardiac dysfunction, infertility and development of secondary neoplasms (SNs). Children are more sensitive to the effects of ionising radiation and due to their long life expectancy they have more chances to develop secondary cancer in their lifetime. Therefore, the assessment of the stray out-of-field doses is particularly important in radiation protection of child radiotherapy and forms an essential input for epidemiological studies on treatment associated side effects and the risk of SNs. The EURADOS working group 9 focusses on radiation dosimetry in radiotherapy and more specifically aims to assess out-of-field doses in pediatric radiotherapy treatments, using various photon and proton radiotherapy techniques. Child anthropomorphic phantoms are used that represent 5 year-old and 10 year-old children
