Neutron beams show promise against hard tumors at Fermilab
Dr. Frank Hendrickson says neutron therapy at Fermilab, the world’s largest neutron facility, treats 250 to 300 patients yearly with higher potency than X rays and similar side effects. Early results from 1,000 patients include high disease-free rates in salivary gland tumors, mouth and throat cancers, glioblastomas, and other hard cancers, with pancreatic cancer less favorable but still improved over standard therapy.
