Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a neutron-based treatment designed to eliminate tumors, mainly head and neck tumors or Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), using 1 or 2 sessions, which is an advantage over conventional therapies that could use more than 20 individual sessions. It is a two-step strategy: first, the administration of a boron-containing compound to selectively enrich tumor...
Approximately half of newly diagnosed cancer patients undergo radiotherapy, most
commonly with X-rays. Proton therapy has emerged as an advanced alternative,
offering highly localized energy deposition at the Bragg peak, which reduces
irradiation of healthy tissues and associated toxicity. Technological advances have
enhanced its availability in clinical routine, which has redirected research...
