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…

Nuclear fusion enhances cancer cell killing efficacy in a protontherapy model
GAP Cirrone, L Manti, D Margarone +10
Protontherapy is hadrontherapy fastest-growing modality and a pillar in the battle against cancer. Hadrontherapy superiority lies in its inverted depth-dose profile, hence tumour-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…
