According to Popular Science China, compared with other anti-cancer therapies such as targeted and immunotherapy, neutron therapy has cell-level precision, short treatment cycle, and first-class recurrence and metastasis. Features such as curative effect and low cost.
Cell-level precision
In many tumor tissues, healthy cells and tumor cells are often mixed together (such as brain tumors), and neutron therapy can accurately find tumor cells, Using neutrons and boron drugs to kill tumor cells in a targeted manner, healthy cells are hardly damaged.
Usually only one irradiation, the fastest 30 minutes to kill cancer cells
Currently, the hospital’s conventional photoelectron radiotherapy and proton therapy require an average of 20 irradiations, and some even require 30 irradiations. times or more.
The neutron therapy benefits from the cell-level precision. Most patients only need to be irradiated once, and some patients are irradiated twice. Each irradiation time is 30 to 50 minutes. It has few side effects and can greatly improve the quality of life of patients.
First-class curative effect for recurrent and metastatic tumors
Tumors after repeated recurrence and metastasis are difficult to cure, and the important reason is that the tumor is resistant to radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted drugs, immunotherapy, etc. strength or resistance.
Neutron therapy can rapidly deposit a large amount of energy in tumor cells, and has a very high relative biological effect, thereby completely destroying the genetic material of tumor cells and killing recurrent and metastatic tumor cells.
At present, my country’s neutron therapy technology is expected to enter the clinic within 2 years, breaking the international monopoly of high-end medical devices and greatly reducing the treatment cost to 100,000-200,000.
