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.

“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.”

TAE Life Sciences Announces Scientific Advisory Board to Advance Cancer Research in Boron-Neutron Capture Therapy
2019 | Cision PR Newswire | Read Now
BNCT is unique in its ability to deliver targeted therapy to destroy cancer cells with biological precision and has shown compelling results in treating some of the most challenging cancers, including brain, head and neck tumors and melanomas. BNCT uses the benign boron-10 isotope in a targeting drug that naturally embeds within fast-growing cancer cells, which then receive an intense, highly localized dose of radiation activated by a low-energy neutron beam.
