We have treated 119 patients with intracranial tumors and one extracranial nerve-related tumor by boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). These patients included malignant gliomas (grade 3-4) low grade gliomas (grade l-2), PNET, meningioma, sarcomas, and cerebral metastasis. Grade 3-4 gliomas ...
The optimization of a Beam Shaping Assembly design for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT), based on a commercial available proton accelerator, has been simulated. The primary goal is to improve the flux of the epithermal neutrons, which is the major drawback in all designed BNCT facilities wit...
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) can be performed without reactors due to development of cyclotron-based epithermal neutron source (C-BENS), which is optimized for treatment for deeper-seated tumors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of cyclotron-based BNCT with bo...
Designing accelerator-based epithermal neutron beams for boron neutron capture therapy The 7Li(p,n)7Be reaction has been investigated as an accelerator-driven neutron source for proton energies between 2.1 and 2.6 MeV. Epithermal neutron beam... DL Bleuel,RJ Donahue,BA Ludewigt,... - 《Medical...
11 Boron neutron capture therapy is a binary system used for the treatment of cancer, which involves administration of a boron compound and subsequent irradiation with slow neutrons.

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is based on a lethal 10B(n,α)7Li capture reaction that occurs when 10B is irradiated with low-energy thermal neutrons to produce high energy α-particles and 7Li nuclei. From: Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2008 ...
There are two main potential applications of boron isotopes in radiation cancer therapy, the well established Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT)17and the conceptual application of Proton Boron Fusion Therapy (PBFT), which has recently been experimentally proved by Cirrone et al.18and theoretically ...
