4th Annual NEPTUNE Collaboration Meeting

FOUR POINTS BY SHERATON CATANIA HOTEL

Description

The goal of the NEPTUNE project was to investigate the use of nuclear reactions triggered by protons generating short-range high-LET alpha particles inside the tumours, thereby allowing a highly localized DNA-damaging action. Specifically, we consolidated and explained the promising experimental in-vitro results where a significant enhancement of biological effectiveness was achieved by the p-11B reaction. Moreover, the p-19F reaction, which also generates secondary particles potentially leading to local enhancement of proton effectiveness, was investigated. The in-vivo imaging of 11B and 19F carriers was also studied, in particular by optimizing 19F-based magnetic resonance.
