  2. Fast neutron therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_neutron_therapy

    Fast neutron therapy utilizes high energy neutrons typically between 50 and 70 MeV to treat cancer. Most fast neutron therapy beams are produced by reactors, cyclotrons (d+Be) and linear accelerators. Neutron therapy is currently available in Germany, Russia, South Africa and the United States.

  3. Management of prostate cancer - Wikipedia

    Radiation therapy is commonly used in prostate cancer treatment. It may be used instead of surgery or after surgery in early-stage prostate cancer (adjuvant radiotherapy). Radiation treatments also can be combined with hormonal therapy for intermediate risk disease, when surgery or radiation therapy alone is less likely to cure the cancer.

    Neutron capture therapy is a binary system that consists of two separate components to achieve its therapeutic effect. Each component in itself is non-tumoricidal, but when combined they can be highly lethal to cancer cells. 1) Boron compound (b) is selectively absorbed by cancer cell(s). 2) Neutron beam (n) is aimed at cancer site.

    Metastron, a preparation of strontium-89 chloride made by GE Healthcare and used for purposes such as prostate cancer treatment. [7]Strontium belongs to the same periodic family as calcium (alkaline earth metals), and is metabolised in a similar fashion, preferentially targeting metabolically active regions of the bone.

    This facility was the first to utilize carbon ions clinically, marking a significant advancement in particle therapy for cancer treatment. The therapeutic advantages of carbon ions were recognized earlier, but NIRS was instrumental in establishing its clinical application. [13] [14] C-ion RT uses particles more massive than protons or neutrons ...

  7. Gold-198 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold-198

    Gold-198 (198 Au) is a radioactive isotope of gold.It undergoes beta decay to stable 198 Hg with a half-life of 2.69464 days.. The decay properties of 198 Au have led to widespread interest in its potential use in radiotherapy for cancer treatments.
