Development Status of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy Technique
Boron neutron capture therapy(BNCT)is a new method to treat tumors,and it has outstanding advantages in the treatment of recurrent head and neck tumor,glioma and malignant melanoma at present.This paper described the development status of BNCT technology from the aspects of its principle,development history,boron-containing drugs,side effects of treatment,neutron generation mode and neutron sources,approval for marketing domestically and internationally,and provided future prospects for this treatment technology,and provided a review of the current development status of BNCT technology,in order to enhance the understanding of medical personnel,research and development personnel,regulatory personnel,and other relevant industries on BNCT.It aims to provide reference for the development of BNCT technology,the establishment of relevant technical guidelines,or specifications in China,so as to promote the early service of Chinese BNCT for the vast number of tumor patients.
