| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) delivers tumor cell-selective, high LET radiation without serious damage to surrounding normal tissue. BNCT possibly be an effective and safe treatment option in patients with inoperable locally advanced head and neck cancer. In recent years, novel accerelator-based BNCT which can treat patients in hospitals has been developed instead of conventional reactor-based BNCT. In this study, the simulation of accerelator-based BNCT with developing planning system so-called TSUKUBA plan for accerelator-based BNCT was carried out. It was concluded that the developing accerelator-based BNCT planning system could be an accurate and useful planning system.
