Discussing the discrepancy between analytical calculations and the observed biological effectiveness in proton boron capture therapy (pbct)
G. A. P. Cirrone, G. Petringa, A. Attili +6
A work recently published experimentally demonstrates an increase in the radiobiological efficacy of clinical proton beams when a tumour is treated in the presence of a concentrati…
Response to the authors of 'On the (un)effectiveness of Proton Boron Capture in Proton Therapy'
GAP Cirrone, G Cuttone, L Manti +15
This manuscript provides a response to a recent report by Mazzone et al. available online on arXiv that, in turn, tentatively aims at demonstrating the inefficacy of proton boron c…
Prompt gamma ray diagnostics and enhanced hadron-therapy using neutron-free nuclear reactions
L. Giuffrida, D. Margarone, G. A. P. Cirrone +2
We propose a series of simulations about the potential use of Boron isotopes to trigger neutron-free (aneutronic) nuclear reactions in cancer cells through the interaction with an…
Precise measurement of prompt photon emission for carbon ion therapy
C. Agodi, F. Bellini, G. A. P. Cirrone +19
Proton and carbon ion therapy is an emerging technique used for the treatment of solid cancers. The monitoring of the dose delivered during such treatments is still a matter of res…
