The boron neutron capture therapy(BNCT) is a
promising method of cancer treatment in principle, which
kills cancer cells selectively by the use of cancer
seeking boron compound and the neutron irradiation.
This therapy has been expected very effective for the
malignant brain tumor - glioblastoma multiforme for
which any treatment tried by human has not been successful
yet, and the researches on this therapy has been performed
in many countries. The ENF can be used for the local
irradiation treatment method and for the pre-clinical
trials such as small animal irradiation.
