Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a radiation science which is emerging as a hopeful tool in treating cancer, by selectively concentrating boron compounds in tumour cells and then subjecting the tumour cells to epithermal neutron beam radiation. (isnct.net)
Boron-delivery2
In 1987, a Japanese dermatologist Dr. Mishima and his co-workers at Kobe University found that p -boronophenylalanine (BPA) is a suitable boron-delivery agent for BNCT to treat patients with cutaneous melanomas. (isnct.net)
Although the pioneering work above suggested efficacy of BNCT, the success relied on the penetration of BSH to tumor through dysfunctional brain-blood barrier. (isnct.net)
Boneca Corporation's clinical research program includes also a phase I/II study that evaluates BNCT in the treatment of primary glioblastoma (a highly malignant brain tumour) and another clinical trial that assesses safety and efficacy of BNCT in the treatment of glioblastomas and anaplastic astrocytomas (a type of brain tumour) that have recurred after conventional radiation therapy. (scienceblog.com)
In the field of radiation therapy, boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) stands out because it harnesses biological mechanisms to precisely target tumor cells while preserving the neighboring healthy tissues. (thno.org)
It is possible to treat subclinical lesions using tumor-specific boron-containing compounds because BNCT is a biologically, not a geometrically, targeted modality [ 7 ]. (thno.org)
Moreover, maintaining a tumor boron concentration of ≥20 ppm is crucial for successful BNCT outcomes [ 9 ]. (thno.org)
To advance the development of BNCT as a viable clinical modality, several tumor-targeting drugs (Table 1 ) have been used for the efficient delivery of 10 B isotopes to the tumors [ 10 - 30 ]. (thno.org)
Boron uptake measured using ICP-MS was minimal in fibroblasts, while in glioma cells showed a value of 6 ng of total boron accumulation per mg of cells, implying that compound 1a is able to accumulate selectively in the tumor tissues compared to normal. (elsevierpure.com)
Selectively2
BNCT is a form of radiotherapy that uses boron compounds to selectively target and destroy cancer cells. (pagps.org)
Therefore, BNCT involves two steps: first, a boron compound that can selectively accumulate in cancer cells is administered to the patient. (pagps.org)
SPECT2
Although several BNCT tracers have been developed to facilitate the targeted and efficient delivery of boron to tumors, only a few have been labeled with PET or SPECT radionuclides. (thno.org)
This review provides a comprehensive summary of the essential aspects of BNCT tracers, focusing on their radiolabeling with PET or SPECT radioisotopes. (thno.org)

Tumour3
Ten out of the 12 patients had substantial tumour shrinkage following BNCT, and in 7 cases the tumour disappeared completely. (scienceblog.com)
The most exclusive property of BNCT is that it can deposit an immense dose gradient between the tumour cells and normal cells. (isnct.net)
This thesis investigates a two-step targeting approach that uses targeting liposomes for the delivery of an Auger-electron emitter, 125I, coupled to a DNA-binding compound, Comp1, to the tumour-cell DNA. (dissertations.se)
