Dose prescription in boron neutron capture therapy

, 1994
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to address some aspects of the many considerations that need to go into a dose prescription in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for brain tumors; and to describe some methods to incorporate knowledge from animal ...

DNA double-strand break induction in Ku80-deficient CHO cells following Boron Neutron Capture Reaction

Radiation Oncology, 2011
Background Boron neutron capture reaction (BNCR) is based on irradiation of tumors after accumulation of boron compound. 10B captures neutrons and produces an alpha (4He) particle and a recoiled lithium nucleus (7Li).

Synthesis and Functional Properties of Fluorinated Phosphonate‐Substituted Porphyrins: Excellent Photosensitizers and Robust Precursors for Photoactive Langmuir–Schaefer Films

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 34, 11 September 2026.
This is a comprehensive study of new family of high functionalized meso‐tetraarylporphyrins. A synthetic approach to phosphonate‐substituted fluorinated porphyrins was developed. These compounds were investigated with respect to singlet oxygen generation and photostability.

Quantitative imaging of 478-keV prompt gamma rays from Boron neutron capture reactions

Scientific Reports
Abstract The accurate imaging and quantitative measurement of 478-keV prompt gamma rays are critical for advancing boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), a promising cancer treatment. Although numerical simulations have indicated that such measurements are feasible, their practical application has proven challenging.

Boron agents for neutron capture therapy

, 2019
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a potential cancer radiotherapeutic modality, which takes advantage of the neutron capture response that occurs when boron (10B) is struck by low-energy thermal neutrons, triggering a nuclear fission reaction that ...

Neutron capture-enhanced proton beam therapy outside the irradiation field: in vitro experiments

BMC Research Notes
Objective To evaluate the cell-killing effects of neutron capture-enhanced particle therapy (NCEPT) outside the proton beam irradiation (PBI) field. Results Human osteosarcoma cells (MG63) were divided into control and NCEPT groups.

Increased cell killing effect in neutron capture enhanced proton beam therapy

Scientific Reports
Thermal neutrons generated in the body during proton beam therapy (PBT) can be used to cause boron neutron capture reactions and have recently been proposed as neutron capture enhanced PBT (NCEPBT).
