Evaluation of the Safety of Folate Receptor-Targeted Boron Carrier in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) for Malignant Gliomas Using CED Administration

Proceedings
Knowing how to accumulate boron into the tumor cells is a crucial aspect of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), which can be targeted at the cellular level, and the development of novel boron agents other than BPA, which is used in clinical practice ...

Fast Neutron Fluence Rate Measurement for the Neutron Beams at IHNI-1

Journal of Isotopes, 2017
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 ...

Boron neutron capture therapy for malignant gliomas

Annals of Medicine, 2000
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) represents a promising modality for a relatively selective radiation dose delivery to the tumour tissue. Boron-10 nuclei capture slow 'thermal' neutrons preferentially and, upon capture, promptly undergo 10B(n,alpha)7Li reaction.

Fast Neutron Beams for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy?

Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik, 2004
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.
