The lab creates new cancer treatments using quantum beams.
AboutAbout the lab
Delivering new cancer treatments with quantum beams.
The Particle Radiation Oncology Lab has carried out boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) using neutron beams from the research reactor (KUR) in more than 580 cases, the most in the world.
These results, together with the successful development of an accelerator-based BNCT irradiation system, were put into practical use in 2020, when accelerator-based BNCT for head and neck cancer began as a medical treatment at medical institutions.
The lab's new mission is now "interdisciplinary, translational research aimed at developing new cancer treatments using quantum beams."
Key terms
- BNCT
- Boron neutron capture therapy. A treatment that destroys cancer by irradiating boron, taken up into cancer cells, with neutrons.
- Quantum beams
- Radiation consisting of particles or electromagnetic waves, such as neutron beams, electron beams, and X-rays.
- Translational research
- Research that connects the results of basic research to actual medical care.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab pursues interdisciplinary, translational research aimed at developing new cancer treatments using quantum beams.
*Illustrative imageNew Cancer Treatments Using Quantum Beams
Using the neutron, electron, X-ray, and radioisotope (RI) radiation available at the Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science, researchers in radiation oncology, immunology, drug discovery science, nanomedicine, veterinary medicine, and other fields work together to develop new cancer treatments based on quantum beams.
*Illustrative imageClinical Research and Practical Use of BNCT
Through repeated clinical studies of BNCT using KUR neutron beams, an accelerator-based BNCT irradiation system developed in joint research with companies has been put into practical use as a treatment for head and neck cancer at medical institutions.
