Synergy effect of alpha particles by using natural boron in proton therapy: Computational verification

AIP Advances, 2019
The use of boron (11B) is recently being investigated to be applied in proton therapy as a proton boron fusion dose enhancement agent. Alpha particles are emitted from the p + 11B → 3α fusion (PBF) reaction analogous to the 10B(n,7Li)α capture (BNC ...

One‐year follow‐up after fractionated ultra‐high‐dose‐rate FLASH radiotherapy in patient with extramammary Paget disease of the scrotum

Precision Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
An elderly male patient with extramammary Paget disease of the scrotum and multiple metastases was treated with fractionated FLASH‐RT (40 Gy in 5 fractions) in the scrotal lesion. Abstract Objective Ultrahigh‐dose‐rate radiotherapy (FLASH‐RT) has been shown to reduce radiation‐induced normal tissue injury in preclinical studies.
