一种二元放疗靶向治癌的新技术——中子俘获疗法(NCT)与医院中子照射器(IHNI)

中子俘获疗法已成为当前对抗癌症的一项新选择，而且正在迈向治癌的一种例行疗法。面临的难题，首先就是掺硼化合物，目前已进入第三代开发阶段，也就是要对特定的肿瘤取得治疗功效上的突破。再之，乃是中子源装置。老研究堆不具备临床医疗的“亲和性”，一般又达退役年龄，难以成为推广例行治疗的基础设施。
中国开发成功以微型研究堆为基础的专为中子俘获疗法设计的医院中子照射器，可安装在医院内，由医生自行掌握，具备2条中子束，可供浅部与深部肿瘤的照射治疗，为中子俘获疗法实现例行治疗，提供了一种安全、简便、廉价与实用的治疗装置。

A New Technology on Binary Targeting Radiation Therapy of Cancer: Neutron Capture Therapy(NCT)and the In-Hospital Neutron Irradiator(IHNI)

Neutron Capature Therapy is now a new option for tumor treatment and is becoming a routine therapy for tumor treatment. The difficulties for the development of that firstly is the compound mixed with Boron. At present, it has enterec the 3rd development phase, that is, the breakthrough on the treatment effectiveness for the particular tumor. Secondly. It is the difficulty with neutron resources device. The old research reactors have no affinity of the clinical treatment and most of them have reached the retirement time. Therefore, it is hard to use the old reactors as the basic facility for the promotion of the routine treatment.
The In-hospital Neutron lrradiator specially designed for the Neutron Capture Therapy based on the miniature reactor which has been successfully ceveloped by China can be installed inside the hospital and operated directly by doctors. The device has 2 neutron beams for the irradiation treatment of the shallow and deep tumors. It has provided a safe, simple and practical treatment oevice for the realization of the routine treatment of Neutron Capture Therapy.
