Proton Boron Capture Therapy (PBCT) is a novel approach of particle therapy aimed at enhancing proton biological effectiveness by exploiting the fusion reaction between low-energy protons and a boron drug to destroy cancer cells via radiation delivery.

Key Points: 
  • Proton Boron Capture Therapy (PBCT) is a novel approach of particle therapy aimed at enhancing proton biological effectiveness by exploiting the fusion reaction between low-energy protons and a boron drug to destroy cancer cells via radiation delivery.
  • TAE Life Sciences and the Department of Radiation Physics at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center conducted a study, Effect of boron compounds on the biological effectiveness of proton therapy , to identify whether PBCT will produce an increased biological effect in destroying the tumor.
  • "TAE Life Sciences is proud of this proton boron fusion study, said Bruce Bauer, PhD, CEO of TAE Life Sciences.
  • TAE Life Sciences (TLS) is a privately held biotechnology company committed to developing a new biologically targeted radiation therapy based on Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT).
