When neutrons are absorbed by certain atoms nuclei, they become isotopes that undergo a decay, usually beta, producing usually the next heavier atom in the periodic table; (e.g. S 35 is an isotope of sulphur that transmutes into chlorine). Fast neutrons tend to pass through tissues causing little changes, slow neutrons have a better chance to be absorbed. Why not allow brain tumors to absorb glucose labelled with carbon 14 which emits a weak beta radiation, and then bombard the tumor with slow neutrons, some of the carbon 14, which have a half-life of more than five thousand years, would become carbon 15, which has a half-life of 2.45 seconds and transmutes into nitrogen. The subsequent chemical changes could potentially disrupt a number of biological processes inside the tumor. Amino acids labelled with isotopes that undergo transmutation, could prove ideal to fight aggressive tumors, since they need to absorb amino acids at a fast rate to grow.

Hallo Doctor What happens if I stop a week between radiation sessions to treat begin tumor in the brain Thank you

my right CP angle Schwonnoma Optd Oct 15, size 37x32x32 and Gamma Knife on 12 May 16 size 28x22x21 and than MRI on Feb 16 size No increase. after 2 year MRI on 22 Dec 18 size increase 38x32x29. what ????? type treatment is best i.e Stereotactic Radiotherphy Or IGRT/IMRT.
