Estimation of patient doses and cancer risk to patients during EVAR procedures
ConclusionsThe study has estimated radiation dose and risk associated with typical EVAR procedures and determined normalized organ and effective doses. The dosimetric data was comparable with other studies reported. The dose conversion coefficient for organ and effective doses determined in this study may be used considering the procedure conditions from the study. (Source: Health and Technology)

The current status and future perspectives of clinical boron neutron capture therapy trials
ConclusionsMost of the existing studies have been performed with reactor-based facilities, but there is now a rapidly increasing number of linear accelerator-based BNCT sites, and the clinical research is apparently activating again. This, combined with the increased knowledge on cancer biology and novel types of oncological therapies, opens possibilities to study innovative boron carriers and to combine BNCT with modern oncological therapies in the future clinical trials. To conduct larger phase III trials, multicenter approaches are encouraged to be applied, keeping in mind the importance of joint instructions and qual...
