TSA: Neutron Activation of Holmium-166 to Support the Development of Radioactive Bandages for the Treatment of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer; Binghamton University

Sponsor: Binghamton University, State University of New York

Start Date: 7/15/19

End Date: 7/14/20

Abstract

The Nuclear Reactor Program at North Carolina State University will provide neutron-activation in support of the development of radioactive bandages for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer. Holmium-166 (166Ho) based radioactive bandages provide a convenient and cost-effective way to treat localized skin cancer in patients, as compared to surgical interventions, external beam radiation therapy and electronic brachytherapy. The bandages can be cut into desired sizes or standard pre-determined sizes and made radioactive by neutron-activation of Ho to 166Ho. The radioactive bandages can then be applied to the skin cancer lesions for treatment. The initial scope will be for 24 irradiations of 2 sample containers per irradiation to support optimization testing and pre-clinical trials.
