Voxel model in BNCT treatment planning: Performance analysis and improvements
(IOP Publishing, 2005-01)
In recent years, many efforts have been made to study the performance of treatment planning systems in deriving an accurate dosimetry of the complex radiation fields involved in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The ...
Dosimetria da braquiterapia por Califórnio-252 associada à captura de nêutrons pelo Boro com balão moderador aplicada ao Glioblastoma multiforme
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2013-04-09)
Glioblastoma multiforme is a highly infiltrative tumor and, even with technological advances, the treatment for the control of infiltrations and local metastases is still a challenge. In order to evaluate alternatives for ...
Evaluation of performance of an accelerator-based BNCT facility for the treatment of different tumor targets
(Elsevier, 2013-09)
Purpose: Encouraging Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) clinical results obtained in recent years have stimulated intense research to develop accelerator-based neutron sources to be installed in clinical facilities. In ...
Toward a clinical application of ex situ boron neutron capture therapy for lung tumors at the RA-3 reactor in Argentina
(Wiley, 2015-07)
Purpose: Many types of lung tumors have a very poor prognosis due to their spread in the whole organ volume. The fact that boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) would allow for selective targeting of all the nodules regardless ...
A Novel Approach to Design and Evaluate BNCT Neutron Beams Combining Physical, Radiobiological, and Dosimetric Figures of Merit
(MDPI, 2021-02-26)
(1) Background:The quality of neutron beams for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is currently defined by its physical characteristics in air. Recommendations exist to define whether a designed beam is useful for clinical ...
Closo-carboranyl- and metallacarboranyl [1,2,3]triazolyl-decorated lapatinib-scaffold for cancer therapy combining tyrosine kinase inhibition and boron neutron capture therapy
(MDPI, 2020)
One of the driving forces of carcinogenesis in humans is the aberrant activation of receptors; consequently, one of the most promising mechanisms for cancer treatment is receptor inhibition by chemotherapy. Although a ...
Confecção e caracterização de filmes finos de boro para a medida da taxa de reação 10B(N, a)7LI na terapia por captura de nêutrons pelo boro
