We retrospectively review outcomes of applying boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) to
unresectable advanced or recurrent head and neck cancers. Patients who were treated with …

A 60-year-old man with multiple hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) was enrolled as the first
patient in a pilot study for treating multiple liver tumors with boron neutron capture therapy (…

Purpose: To increase the effect of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) on tumors in vivo,
the combined effects of para-boronophenylalanine (BPA) and borocaptate sodium (BSH) …

Purpose The heterogeneous microdistribution of boron compounds in tumors and its
significance on tumor cure were examined by a radiobiological procedure. The role of …

Two patients, one with malignant pleural mesothelioma and one with a malignant short
spindle cell tumor, received boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). In each case, the tumors …

The radioprotective effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) have been known for many years,
and the suppression of hydroxyl (OH) radicals induced by ionizing radiation has been …

To explore the feasibility of employing boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) to treat liver
tumors, the effects of BNCT were investigated by using liver tumor models and normal …

Nimustine (ACNU) and temozolomide (TMZ) are DNA alkylating agents which are commonly
used in chemotherapy for glioblastomas. ACNU is a DNA cross-linking agent and TMZ is a …

Background Boron neutron capture reaction (BNCR) is based on irradiation of tumors after
accumulation of boron compound. B captures neutrons and produces an alpha ( 4 He) …
