Dear Beatrice,

I miss the expected meaning of GeV/(cm2 s). Energy is deposited in a
volume and with a cartesian or cylindrical USRBIN [*not* with a USRBIN per
region] you get GeV/(cm3 primary) as you wrote. Multiplying by the photon
rate (I assume you decided to use PHOTONs as primary particles instead of
directly simulating the 60Co decay through ISOTOPE), you will get power
deposition density (that can be expressed in W/cm3) and I would be pretty
happy with that, with no need for a further manipulation by an ill-defined
quantity.
Do not hesitate to come back with your thoughts if in fact you turn out
not to be happy.

Cheers

Francesco
