The hospital performs Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT), which delivers targeted radiation at the cellular level. BNCT is particularly effective for recurrent head and neck cancers, glioblastoma, and melanoma. The treatment involves administering a boron-containing compound that accumulates in cancer cells, followed by neutron irradiation that selectively destroys only the boron-laden cancer cells.
The BNCT Treatment Center is the hospital's core department, operating advanced accelerator-based neutron sources for precision cancer treatment. The Radiation Oncology Department provides treatment planning and follow-up care. Head and Neck Oncology and Neuro-oncology departments evaluate and manage patients before and after BNCT treatment.
The hospital's medical team includes radiation oncologists and nuclear medicine specialists trained in BNCT administration, with expertise gained from Japanese BNCT programs where this technology was pioneered.
