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.

A Review of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy: Its History and Current Challenges
, 2022 MECHANISM OF ACTION: External beam, whether with photons or particles, remains as the most common type of radiation therapy. The main drawback is that radiation deposits dose in healthy tissue before reaching its target.
