摘要

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is based on the nuclear capture and fission reactions that occur when non-radioactive boron-10 is irradiated with neutrons of the appropriate energy to yield high energy alpha particles (4He) and recoiling lithium-7 (7Li) nuclei. Since these particles have pathlengths of approximately one cell diameter, their lethality is primarily limited to boron containing cells. BNCT, therefore, can be regarded as both a biologically and a physically targeted type of radiation therapy [1 ]. The success of BNCT is dependent upon the selective delivery of sufficient amounts of 10B to cancer cells with only small amounts localized in the surrounding normal tissues. A wide variety of boron delivery agents have been synthesized , but only two of these currently are being used in clinical trials . The first, which has been used primarily in Japan , is sodium borocaptate or BSH, and the second is a dihydroxyboryl derivative of phenylalanine, referred to as boronophenylalanine or BPA. The latter has been used in clinical trials in the United States, Europe, and more recently in Japan . Following administration of either BPA or BSH by intravenous infusion, the tumour site is irradiated with neutrons, the source of which is a nuclear reactor. Up until 1994, low-energy (E_n < 0.5 eV) thermal neutron beams were used primarily in Japan , but since they have a limited depth of penetration in tissues, higher energy (<10keV) epithermal neutron beams, which have a greater depth of penetration, have been used in clinical trials in the United States , Europe and now Japan .
