The growing knowledge about cancer biology has enhanced the development of many therapeutic strategies that involve selective targeting and killing of cancer cells. One such therapeutic option is boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), a radiotherapy process involving transferring boron into cancer cells and exposing it to neutron particles, causing it to undergo nuclear fission, which kills the cancer cells. If clinicians can ensure that boron is present only in cancer cells, they can specifically destroy only cancer cells without harming the normal cells of the body.
