PY - 2019 TI - Teachings of our translational studies on boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT): thinking “outside the box” JF - Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology; Vol 3 (June 2019): Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - BNCT is a technique for the treatment of solid tumors. BNCT is considered a binary technique because it involves two components that exert little or no action individually but induce a significant effect when they combine. BNCT is based on the combination of neutron irradiation and the administration of 10 B compounds that are incorporated selectively by tumor tissue via different mechanisms, depending on the boron carrier.
