Translational Research on BNCT for Clinical Application
Background and Objective Using Kyoto University Research Reactor (KUR), patients with malignant tumors greater than 500 have been treated with boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). Malignant brain tumors and head and neck cancers have been main malignancies treated with BNCT. Our laboratory (Division of Particle Radiation Oncology) has investigated the possibilities for new applications for BNC...

متن کاملAn Epithermal Neutron Source for BNCT Based on an ESQ - Accelerator
An accelerator-based BNCT facility is under development at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Neutrons will be produced via the 7Li(p,n) reaction at proton energies of about 2.5 MeV with subsequent moderation and filtering for shaping epithermal neutron beams for BNCT. Moderator, filter, and shielding assemblies have been modeled using MCNP. Head-phantom dose distributions have been cal...

متن کاملCurrent Research on Accelerator-based Boron Neutron Capture Therapy in Korea
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiation treatment modality based on nuclear reactions between thermal neutrons and stable isotope B concentrated primarily in cancer cells. It allows for delivery of high linear energy transfer (LET) radiation ( particles and Li nuclei) to tumors at the cellular level whilst avoiding unnecessary dose deposition to healthy tissue. Until now, mos...
