Study aims to determine the optimum dose of cancer therapy Boron Neutron Cancer Therapy (BNCT) in skin cancer using SHIELD-HIT 12A program. The steps taken are to define the geometry and components of the skin as the object being studied and boron-10 as the source of radiation used. The output obtained from SHIELD-HIT 12A is in the form of radiation length in each skin forming constituent of skin. Medium 1 is a bone tissue with a radiation length of 10.416 cm; medium 2 is muscle tissue with radiation length 20.089 cm; medium 3 is skin tissue with radiation length 34.25 cm and medium 4 is cancer tissue with radiation length 9.639 cm. In this study the dose of BNCT has not been detected by the SHIELD-HIT 12A program.
