This book provides a comprehensive summary of the progress made in NCT in recent years. Individual sections cover all important aspects, including neutron sources, boron chemistry, drugs for NCT, dosimetry, and radiation biology. The use of NCT in a variety of malignancies and also some non-malignant diseases is extensively discussed. NCT is clearly shown to be a promising modality at the threshold of wider clinical application. All of the chapters are written by experienced specialists in language that will be readily understood by all participating disciplines.. | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | 关键词 | Boron; Neutron Capture Therapy (NCT); Particle Therapy; Radiation Oncology; Targeted Therapies; Radiaton | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-31334-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-44307-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-31334-9 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012 |
