Abstract:Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has the potential to specifically destroy tumor cells without damaging the tissues infiltrated by the tumor. BNCT is a binary treatment method based on the…
Abstract:Sugars are a versatile tool for targeting malignant cells and have been extensively used for drug delivery and imaging techniques.Their prototype, fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG), is currently used for positron emission tomography.…
Abstract:We have extensively searched for a cyclic hydrogenated boron molecule that has a threecenter two-electron bond at the center. Using first-principles calculations, we discovered a stable molecule of 2:4:6:8:-2H-1,5:1,5-μH-B8H10 and…
In April 2022, the National Cancer Institute of the United States organized a 3-day seminar, dedicated to boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). This short article summarizes a presentation from that…
A new publication was published in the Cancer Biotherapy and Radiopharmaceuticals Journal by Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Sauerwein about the need for a standard for the reporting dose in boron neutron…
The appearance of hospital-based epithermal neutron sources has made boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) a dedicated focus of innovative developments in radiation oncology. At this very moment, it seems appropriate…
