초록

A proton linac based boron neutron capture therapy system (A-BNCT, 10MeV, 4mA) was successfully developed in Korea. We performed in vitro experiments with U87 and SAS cells and revealed the efficacy of a binary therapy BNCT using epithermal neutrons and boronophenylalanine (BPA). The results revealed that BNCT showed cancer cell selectivity and caused cell death. Further in vitro studies can be a valuable method to characterize an A-BNCT system. We expect BNCT to become a treatment option for cancer patients.
