Response of Normal Tissues to Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) with <sup>10</sup>B-Borocaptate Sodium (BSH) and <sup>10</sup>B-Paraboronophenylalanine (BPA)

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a cancer-selective radiotherapy that utilizes the cancer targeting <sup>10</sup>B-compound. Cancer cells that take up the compound are substantially damaged by the high liner energy transfer (LET) particles emitted mainly from the <sup>10<...
