TAE Life Sciences Partners with BEC to Incorporate Specialized Robotic Patient Positioning System in its Alphabeam™ System for High-Precision Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
9/2021 | Business Wire
During BNCT, it is essential that the patient is positioned accurately in relation to the radiation beam and that the radiation therapist has the ability to adjust the patient’s position throughout the whole treatment session. BEC will be developing a unique chair setup that will allow for flexible patient treatment in a seated position in addition to the traditional treatment couch configuration. Exclusively designed for TLS’ Alphabeam™ Neutron System, the chair is optimal for treating specific types of head and neck cancers.
TAE Life Sciences Announces Installation of First Accelerator-based Neutron Beam System for Biologically Targeted Radiation Therapy at Xiamen Humanity Hospital in China
9/2021 | Business Wire
TLS’ Neutron Beam System enables a new treatment modality for patients diagnosed with the most aggressive and recurrent cancers such as gliomas, head and neck tumors, and melanomas, by delivering more precise, targeted radiation to cancer cells while sparing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This technique holds promise in treating patients with cancer for whom other treatment options have been exhausted or are unavailable.
TAE Life Sciences Identifies Proprietary Drug Candidates to Support Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT)
2021 | Business Wire
“TLS is the only company developing comprehensive, in-house target drugs as well as a neutron technology system called Alphabeam™ to enable the next-generation in biologically targeted radiation therapy. Today’s news brings us closer to our goal of providing new hope to patients with the most difficult to treat cancers,” said Bruce Bauer, PhD, CEO of TAE Life Sciences. “Historically, brain, head and neck, and melanoma cancers have been treated with BNCT and studies have shown improvements in survival compared to other cancer therapies. New boron drugs expand the potential to treat other indications including breast, lung and liver cancers.”
