Description

We have proposed a conceptual advance using PET-based BNCT (1, 2) and report here followup studies of the treatment. This report describes the results of BNCT using 10B-L-boronophenylalanine (10B-L-BPA) performed in 8 high-grade glioma patients between 1994 and 1995 as well as the results of BNCT using a mixed beam to treat 3 high-grade glioma patients starting in 1997.
