Boron and Cancer Treatment

Abstract

. is considered Cancer is multifactorial, and many factors, from bacteria to viruses, radiation to inheritance, environmental factors, dietary habits and chemicals, are blamed in cancer formation. The boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) method, which has come to the fore, especially recently, has been a ray of hope for cancer treatment. This method, which has been tried in many cancer treatments, has been a treatment mainly used in the treatment of brain cancer and is known as a method in which the damage of healthy cells is at the lowest level in addition to the destruction of cancerous cells. It has also been observed that boric acid prevents cancerous prostate cells growth and the proliferation of cancerous cells. It has also been observed that boron taken into the body with diet is inversely proportional to lung and cervical cancers. In some experiments in animals and humans, boron has been shown to positively affect the central nervous system and be a bioactive element associated with a reduced risk for some types of cancer. This compilation; the significant effects of boron on human health and the use of boron in new treatments are mentioned.
