Clinical Viability of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy for Personalized Radiation Treatment

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a promising binary disease-targeted therapy, as neutrons preferentially kill cells labeled with boron ( B), which makes it a precision medicine treatment modality that provides a therapeutic effect exclusively on patient-specific tumor spread. Contrary to what...

Contrary to what is usual in radiotherapy, BNCT proposes cell-tailored treatment planning rather than to the tumor mass. The success of BNCT depends mainly on the sufficient spatial biodistribution of B located around or within neoplastic cells to produce a high-dose gradient between the tumor and healthy tissue.
