Gold Nanoparticles Permit In Situ Absorbed Dose Evaluation in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy for Malignant Tumors.

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an anticancer modality realized through B accumulation in tumor cells, neutron irradiation of the tumor, and decay of boron atoms with the release of alpha-particles and lithium nuclei that damage tumor cell DNA. As high-LET particle release takes place inside tumor cells absorbed dose calculations are difficult, since no essential extracellular energy is emitted. We placed gold nanoparticles inside tumor cells saturated with boron to more accurately measure the absorbed dose.

Measurement of the Li(p,p'γ)Li reaction cross-section and 478 keV photon yield from a thick lithium target at proton energies from 0.7 to 1.85 MeV.

The Li (p,p'γ)Li reaction cross section and photon yield from a thick lithium target at proton energies from 0.7 to 1.85 MeV have been measured with a HPGe gamma-ray spectrometer.

Neutron Source Based on Vacuum Insulated Tandem Accelerator and Lithium Target.

A compact accelerator-based neutron source has been proposed and created at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk, Russia. An original design tandem accelerator is used to provide a proton beam. The proton beam energy can be varied within a range of 0.

[Multi-parametric MRI/US fusion guided biopsy for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. ur experience].

Introduction: Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. The gold standard for the detection of prostate cancer is ultrasound guided transrectal prostate biopsy. The detectability of cancer using this method is from 30 to 50%.

[Using laser radiation in partial nephrectomy for renal tumors].

In recent years, the number of organ-sparing operations for renal tumors has been increasing steadily due to comparable oncological outcomes and the desire to preserve functioning renal parenchyma. Another technique, which is becoming increasingly popular, is so-called zero ischemia partial nephrectomy, which allows bleeding to be controlled during the operation without clamping the renal artery, thus avoiding renal ischemic injury. One of the most interesting and promising instruments for partial nephrectomy is a laser radiation.
