Perceptions of Canadian Radiation Oncologists, Medical Physicists, and Radiation Trainees about the Feasibility and Need of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) in Canada: A National Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is an emerging radiotherapy. There are ongoing efforts to develop a Canadian accelerator-based BNCT center. However, it remains unclear how radiation oncologists (RO), medical physicists (MP), and their trainees perceive its impact on oncology as discipline. Methods: A survey was created explore the knowledge of BNCT, clinical role, support for research. It distributed through Association Radiation Oncology (CARO) Organization Medical Physicists (COMP). Results: We received 118 valid responses from all 10 provinces, 70 RO (59.3%) 48 MP (40.7%), including 9 residents. Most knew indications (60.2%). Although many were unaware reasons behind early failures (44.1%), common lack trials inaccessibility neutron sources (42.4%) well reactor unsuitability (34.7%). Additionally, 90.6% showed definite (66.9%) or possible (23.7%) research, while 89% indicated (56.8%) (32.2%) willingness referrals. Conclusions: ROs MPs supported research would refer patients. limited awareness experiences remain challenge. Educational sessions needed realize this innovative cancer treatment in Canada.

Introduction: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is recommended to treat the glioblastoma tumor. It is well known that neuron beams are more effective treatment than photon beams to treat hypoxia tumors due to interaction of neutron with nucleus and production of heavy particles such as 7Li and alpha particle. In this study to evaluate the suitability of BNCT for treating of ...
