EJNMMI Res . 2025 Feb; 15(1):13. PMID: 39982528
Background: Protons, which are considered low-LET (Linear Energy Transfer) radiation, have an average RBE (relative biological effectiveness) of 1.1, with a range from 0.7 to 1.6. Thus, increasing biological effectiveness...

Belchior A, Fernandes A, Lamotte M, Silva A, Seixas R, Silva A, et al.
Int J Mol Sci . 2022 Dec; 23(23). PMID: 36499256
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a re-emerging technique for selectively killing tumor cells. Briefly, the mechanism can be described as follows: after the uptake of boron into cells, the...

Fernandes C, Palma E, Silva F, Belchior A, Pinto C, Guerreiro J, et al.
Int J Mol Sci . 2022 Jul; 23(13). PMID: 35806239
Although Tc is not an ideal Auger electron (AE) emitter for Targeted Radionuclide Therapy (TRT) due to its relatively low Auger electron yield, it can be considered a readily available...

Marques A, Belchior A, Silva F, Marques F, Campello M, Pinheiro T, et al.
Int J Mol Sci . 2022 May; 23(9). PMID: 35563666
For a while, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been recognized as potential radiosensitizers in cancer radiation therapy, mainly due to their physical properties, making them appealing for medical applications. Nevertheless, the...
