A Fast-neutron Source for Radiotherapy

Abstract

IT would be a pity if recent correspondence1,2 were to give the impression that 14-MeV neutrons are known to be valueless for radiotherapy on account of their low linear energy transfer. To my knowledge no measurements of the oxygen enhancement ratio of mammalian cells irradiated by 14-MeV neutrons have yet been published. An estimate of the value of this irradiation in treating tumours containing anoxic foci is therefore a matter of speculation.
