Theranostics in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy [PDF]
Life, 2021 Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has the potential to specifically destroy tumor cells without damaging the tissues infiltrated by the tumor. BNCT is a binary treatment method based on the combination of two agents that have no effect when applied ...

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy - A Literature Review [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016 Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a radiation science which is emerging as a hopeful tool in treating cancer, by selectively concentrating boron compounds in tumour cells and then subjecting the tumour cells to epithermal neutron beam radiation ...

Nanostructured boron agents for boron neutron capture therapy: a review of recent patents
Medical Review, 2023 Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a potential radiation therapy modality for cancer, and tumor-targeted stable boron-10 (10B) delivery agents are an important component of BNCT. Currently, two low-molecular-weight boron-containing compounds, sodium

Boron neutron capture therapy for urological cancers [PDF]
International Journal of Urology, 2022 AbstractBoron neutron capture therapy is based on a nuclear reaction between the nonradioactive isotope boron‐10 and either low‐energy thermal neutrons or high‐energy epithermal neutrons, which generate high linear energy transfer α particles and a recoiled lithium nucleus (7Li) that selectively destroys the DNA helix in tumor cells.
