Neutron capture treatment (BNCT): New dawn for brain tumor treatment

Brain tumors have been the “hard bones” of medicine. Even with modern methods of surgery, chemotherapy and treatment, there are many challenges to the effectiveness of treatment. However, there is an exciting treatment that is gradually entering the public view — neutron capture treatment (BNCT). Today, I’m going to show you this “black technology.” What’s neutron capture treatment? Neutron Capture Therapy. It is a precision treatment that combines nuclear physics with biological target orientation and is particularly suitable for the treatment of malignant tumours, such as brain tumours, which are difficult to surgically remove or are resistant to traditional treatment. In short, BNCT is like a “point blast”: 1. “marked” tumours: first, by injecting a drug containing a boron-10 isotope, it is selectively concentrated in tumor cells. “Explosion” of tumours: BB-10 is then exposed to neutron, a nuclear reaction with neutron action that releases high-energy particles (e.g., alpha particles) and precisely kills tumour cells without causing significant harm to the surrounding normal tissue. What are the advantages of neutron capture treatment? Precision: Only tumour cells are effective, normal cells are protected and side effects are reduced. Fits to incurable tumours: There are also better treatments for tumors that are ineffective in traditional treatments such as re-emerging cerebrogel tumours. Non-invasive: No skull surgery is required to reduce the risk of treatment. The biggest problem with the application of brain tumour treatment by BNCT in the treatment of brain tumours is the depth of the tumours, their blurry boundaries, their often difficult to completely remove, and the fact that traditional treatments can easily harm the surrounding normal brain tissue. BNCT is an ideal choice because of its target orientation and accuracy. At present, BNCT has been used in several countries and regions (e.g. Japan) for the treatment of re-emerging cerebroplasms, with expected results. For example, the acceptance of BNCT by some patients resulted in a marked reduction of the tumor and a significant improvement in the quality of life. The future of neutron capture treatment, although the BNCT technology already has some successful clinical cases, is also facing challenges: 1. The development of boron drugs: 2. The spread of neutron-sources in tumor cells is more efficient and accurate: 1. The current high cost of neutron source devices limits the spread of BNCT. But the good news is that, with technological advances and more clinical research, BNCT is expected to become an important instrument for the treatment of brain tumors in the future. The treatment of the last neutron captors offers new hope for patients with brain tumours, but not for all. If you or your family have a need for it, you must consult a professional health-care facility, where the doctor will develop a personalized treatment programme. The path to treatment of tumours is still long, but advances in science convince us that every problem will eventually be overcome. Get more knowledge of nuclear medicine and pay attention to me!
