What is BNCT？
BNCT (Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) is a molecular-level selective radiation therapy technology that activates boron atoms with neutrons. It can precisely eliminate cancer cells without damaging normal tissues.
Known as the “micro-nuclear weapon” in modern cancer treatment, BNCT brings new hope to patients with drug- resistant tumors, inoperable tumors, or tumors that relapse after traditional treatment.
China has now joined countries like Japan and Finland as one of the Asian nations that have mastered BNCT core technology and taken the lead in its clinical application.
Clinical Applications – New Hope for Complex Tumors
BNCT has shown significant efficacy in treating various complex tumors:
| Cancer Type | Outstanding Efficacy |
|---|---|
| Malignant Brain Tumors (Glioblastoma) | Significantly extends survival compared to traditional radiation therapy |
| Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer | Kills drug-resistant cells without the need for reoperation |
| Deep Metastatic Cutaneous Melanoma | Relieves pain, improves symptoms, and controls metastasis |
| Thyroid Cancer, Lung Cancer, Liver Cancer | Clinical research is continuously expanding |
| Tumors Resistant to Chemotherapy/ Radiation |
Remains effective when other methods fail |
Clinical data:According to clinical data from Japan and China, the tumor control rate exceeds 80%, and more than 60% of patients experience a significant improvement in quality life within 3 months after treatment.
BNCT Principle – Atomic-Level Precision Radiation Therapy
Boron-10 Injection
Inject a drug containing Boron-10 into the body, allowing it to selectively accumulate in cancer cells
Neutron Irradiation
Irradiate the tumor area with a low-energy neutron beam to trigger a reaction between Boron-10 and neutrons, producing high-energy alpha particles and lithium ions
Particle Release
These particles release energy inside cancer cells, precisely destroying cell DNA without affecting surrounding normal tissues.
Thus, energy release is completely confined within cancer cells a level of precision that traditional radiationtherapy cannot achieve.
China - An Global Pioneer in BNCT Technology
These centers are open to both domestic and international patients, providing one-stop services such as translation, medical record management, and full-process treatment coordination
Advantages Over Traditional Treatments
| Comparison Item | BNCT | Traditional Radiation Therapy / Chemotherapy |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism of Action | Selectively kills cancer cells via boron-neutron reaction | Wide-range irradiation, affecting the whole body |
| Treatment Scope | Precise to individual cells, protecting normal tissues | Large irradiation range, prone to tissue damage |
| Side Effects | Mild and temporary | Hair loss, mucositis, fatigue, leukopenia |
| Number of Treatments | Only 1–2 sessions needed | 15–30 sessions, multiple treatment cycles |
| Quality of Life | Maintained well, fast recovery | Significant impact, reduced quality of life |
BNCT is particularly suitable for patients with inoperable, recurrent, or previously irradiated tumors, and can achieve significant efficacy with only 1–2 treatments.
