摘要: This paper presents Neutron Capture Enhanced Particle Therapy (NCEPT), a method for enhancing the radiation dose delivered to tumour relative surrounding healthy tissues during proton and carbon ion therapy by capturing thermal neutrons produced inside treatment volume irradiation. NCEPT utilises extant in-development boron-10 gadolinium-157-based drugs from related field of neutron capture therapy. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we demonstrate that typical or plan generates an approximately uniform within target volume, centred around beam path. The tissue concentrations agents required obtain arbitrary 10% increase in biological effective are estimated realistic plans, compared previously reported literature. We conclude proposed is theoretically feasible, can provide worthwhile improvement with readily achievable enhancement drugs.
