Boron Nanoparticle-Enhanced Proton Therapy for Cancer Treatment

Boron Nanoparticle-Enhanced Proton Therapy for Cancer Treatment

Proton therapy is one of the promising radiotherapy modalities for the treatment of deep-seated and unresectable tumors, and its efficiency can further be enhanced by using boron-containing substances. Here, we explore the use of elemental boron (B) nanoparticles (NPs) as sensitizers for proton ther...
