Neutron capture enhances dose and reduces cancer cell viability in and out of beam during helium and carbon ion therapy

2023-12-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Purpose</h4> Neutron Capture Enhanced Particle Therapy (NCEPT) is a proposed augmentation of charged particle therapy which exploits thermal neutrons generated internally, within the treatment volume via nuclear fragmentation, to deliver a biochemically targeted radiation dose to cancer cells. This work is the first experimental demonstration of NCEPT, performed using both carbon and helium ion beams with two...
