Reporting Dose in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
Cancer Biotherapy and Radiopharmaceuticals, 2023Reporting needs uniformity in definitions and terminology. This is crucial in order to be able to compare and aggregate clinical outcomes data across clinical trials. For decades, there is no standard for reporting dose in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT).

Phantom materials for boron neutron capture therapy
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2000The aim of this work was to establish which reference phantom material is most suited for dosimetry under reference conditions of neutron beams for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). For this purpose, phantoms of dimensions 15 x 15 x 15 cm3 and 30 x 30 x 30 cm3, composed of water, tissue-equivalent (TE) liquid, polyethylene (PE), polymethyl ...

Boron neutron capture therapy for glioblastoma multiforme
Pharmacy World & Science, 2005Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an incurable disease that can only be managed in a palliative way. The GBM accounts for approximately half of all newly diagnosed primary brain tumors with an incidence of 2-3 cases per 100,000 people each year. Surgery and radiation are the standard options for palliation, and whether there is a place for chemotherapy ...

Fricke Gel Dosimetry in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2002Gel dosimetry allows three-dimensional (3D) measurement of absorbed dose in tissue-equivalent dosemeter phantoms. Gel phantoms are imaged using optical techniques. In neutron capture therapy (NCT), properly designed gel dosemeters can give 3D dose distributions, due to the various components of the secondary radiation, in phantoms exposed in the ...

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy: Principles and Potential
1998This book on the therapeutic applications of neutrons and high-LET radiations in cancer therapy would not have been complete without a review of the present situation of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) and a discussion of its future perspectives.

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy of Malignant Gliomas
2018Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a promising modality for biochemically targeted, highly selective radiation treatment of various cancers, including malignant gliomas. Currently available results demonstrate the beneficial effect of such therapy on survival of patients with both recurrent and newly diagnosed glioblastomas.

Liposomal Boron Delivery for Neutron Capture Therapy
2009Tumor cell destruction in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is due to the nuclear reaction between (10)B and thermal neutrons. The thermal neutrons have an energy of 0.025 eV, clearly below the threshold energy required to ionize tissue components.

Clinical Results of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
1990The early American clinical trials of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (hereinafter BNCT) for malignant brain tumors at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) ended in 1961 without having achieved the objectives of the therapy.
