BNCT

BNCT

It has been used in glioblastoma multiforme type brain tumors, which is defined as BNCT (Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) and is now known to be highly malignant. The main goal of this treatment using boron; After p-bronophenylalanine, the drug form of boron, is administered to the tumor tissue, neutron bombardment is performed. This method is based on the principle that Boron will settle in cells and selectively destroy only tumor cells after neutron bombardment. Thus, the tumor tissue can be treated with BNCT (Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) without the need for surgery, since the DNA cannot enter the cycle of cell division, which is fragmented.
