متن کاملAn Introduction to Boron Neutron Therapy (BNCT): Current Status and Future Outlook
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is based on the nuclear reaction, such that B-10 irradiated with low-energy thermal neutrons produces alpha particles with high linear energy transfer and lithium-7. Clinically, BNCT is used primarily for treatment of high-grade glioma or brain metastases from melanoma and, more recently, head, neck and liver cancers. Since reactors have long been used to pr...
متن کاملGene therapy: current status and future prospects.
