Systemic Immunity Triggered by Boron Neutron Capture Therapy via Manganese-Borate Complex
Conventional radiotherapy compromises antitumor immunity through collateral damage to immune cells. While boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) enables tumor-selective 10B (n, α) 7Li reactions, clinical agents like boronophenylalanine (BPA) suffer from ...

Fast Neutron Fluence Rate Measurement for the Neutron Beams at IHNI-1
To validate and determine the contamination source term of fast neutrons produced by the first in-Hospital Neutron Irradiator (IHNI-1) for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), a boron-covered 235U fission chamber was designed to be used for the ...

Potential targets for boron transport in boron neutron capture therapy
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a binary cancer therapy that involves boron (10B) drug administration and epithermal/thermal neutron irradiation. The nuclear fission reaction between low-energy thermal neutrons and 10B atoms accumulated in cancer

Fast Neutron Beams for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy?
In view of Boron Neutron Capture Enhanced Fast Neutron Therapy (BNCEFNT) of brain tumours, the spatial distributions of thermal flux and fast neutron plus photon dose were measured in a hydrogenous cylinder phantom under conditions varying with respect to neutron energy, field size, and irradiation technique.

Design of a neutron target for boron neutron capture therapy
BackgroundBoron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a promising tumor therapy method that irradiates 10B attached tumors with thermal or epithermal neutrons. Specifically, 7Li(p,n)7Be is one of the main methods for producing thermal or epithermal neutrons.

Compton imaging for dosimetry and real time monitoring in boron neutron capture therapy [PDF]
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is an emerging radiotherapy technique that exploits the high neutron capture cross-section of 10B to deliver targeted high-LET radiation to tumor cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
