Efficient and cost-effective cancer treatment model by using nuclear radiation

In 21st century, the major biological problem in a living organism is cancer. Lots of people die due to this disease because of no proper remediation and the cost of the medicine. So, we are proposing a minimum cost and efficient treatment model by the help of neutron radiation. In this model, we are covering energy, radiation, efficiency, cost and availability as our main aspects. The role of radiation in cancer treatment is the destruction and controlling the growth of cancer cells. Here, the major nuclear phenomenon utilized is neutron capture reaction followed by the release of gamma rays which is the main component for the destruction of cancer cells. 

To reduce the effect of neutron radiation we inject ‘Boron’ enriched in the form of boron-10 (B^10). This particular isotope of boron has got a very high neutron absorption cross-section leading to the excess neutron capture which may damage other non-harmful living cells of the living organism. Boron NeutronCollection (BNCT) Treatment is biochemical target radiotherapy based on atomic infections and decay reactions, which occurs when radioactive borides are irradiated with high linear term neutrons, element components. Natural boron, which transmits energy to alpha particles and returns lithium 7. Clinical significance of BNCT is mainly focused on high-level glioma treatment, recurrent head and neck cancer and primary or metastatic melanoma. The source of BNCT neutron is currently limited to a specially modified nuclear reactor, so the cost of material is high.so we are Proposing a Cost-Effective Cancer Treatment Model by Using Nuclear Radiation.

Radiationtherapy (also referred to as radiotherapy) is a cancer treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. At low doses, radiation is used in x-rays. Radiation therapy doesn't kill cancer cells directly. Radiation therapy can be expensive. It uses complex machines and involves the services of many health care providers. Neutron medical care may be an extremely effective kind of actinotherapy. Long-term experience with treating cancer has shown that certain tumor types (pathologies) are very difficult to kill using conventional radiation therapy.
