Boron neutron capture therapy combined with immunotherapy: insights from radiotherapy, BNCT-specific evidence, and future directions [PDF]
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), a precision radiotherapy modality, has shown significant promise in targeted cancer treatment. Like conventional radiotherapy, the development of radioresistance hinders the efficacy of BNCT.

Next-Generation Boron Drugs and Rational Translational Studies Driving the Revival of BNCT
BNCT is a high-linear-energy transfer therapy that facilitates tumor-directed radiation delivery while largely sparing adjacent normal tissues through the biological targeting of boron compounds to tumor cells.

Clinical outcomes of boron neutron capture therapy for unresectable oral cancer: a retrospective analysis [PDF]
BackgroundSurgery is the standard treatment for oral cancer but often causes functional and cosmetic problems, and reoperation is difficult. Radiotherapy (RT) is less effective, with reirradiation limited by normal tissue tolerance and salvage surgery ...
