BackgroundBoron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a targeted radiotherapy that relies on the 10B (n, α) 7Li reaction, which produces secondary particles with high linear energy transfer (LET), leading to a high relative biological effectiveness (RBE) in tumors. The biological effectiveness of BNCT is influenced by factors such as boron distribution and concentration, necessitating improved methods for assessing its radiobiological effects and clarifying the sensitivity of the differences in different factors to the biological effects.PurposeThis paper introduces a method to evaluate the biological effects of BNCT using the cellular repair model. This method aims to overcome some of the limitations of current evaluation approaches. The primary goal is to provide guidance for clinical treatments and the development of boron drugs, as well as to investigate the impact of the synergistic effects of mixed radiation fields in BNCT on treatment outcomes.MethodsThe approach involves three key steps: first, extending the radial energy deposition distribution of BNCT secondary particles using Geant4‐DNA. This allows for the calculation of initial DNA double‐strand breaks (DSBs) distributions for a given absorbed dose. Next, the obtained initial DSB distributions are used for DNA damage repair simulations to generate cell survival curves, then thereby quantifying RBE and compound biological effectiveness (CBE). The study also explores the synergistic effects of the mixed radiation fields in BNCT on assessing biological effects were also explored in depth.ResultsThe results showed that the RBE of boronophenylalanine (BPA) and sodium borocaptate (BSH) drugs at cell survival fraction 0.01 was 2.50 and 2.15, respectively. The CBE of the boron dose component was 3.60 and 0.73, respectively, and the RBE of the proton component was 3.21, demonstrating that BPA has a significantly higher biological impact than BSH due to superior cellular permeability. The proton dose significance in BNCT treatment is also underscored, necessitating consideration in both experimental and clinical contexts. The study demonstrates that synergistic effects between disparate radiation fields lead to increased misrepairs and enhanced biological impact. Additionally, the biological effect diminishes with rising boron concentration, emphasizing the need to account for intercellular DNA damage heterogeneity.ConclusionsThis methodology offers valuable insights for the development of new boron compounds and precise assessment of bio‐weighted doses in clinical settings and can be adapted to other therapeutic modalities.
