We have evaluated the efficacy and safety of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for recurrent glioma and malignant brain tumor using a new protocol. One of the two patients enrolled in this trial is a man with recurrent glioblastoma and the other is a woman with anaplastic meningioma. Both are still alive and no severe adverse events have been observed. Our findings suggest that NCT will be safe as a palliative therapy for malignant brain tumors.
我们使用一种新方案评估了硼中子俘获疗法(BNCT)治疗复发性胶质瘤和恶性脑肿瘤的疗效及安全性。该试验纳入的两名患者中,一名是复发性胶质母细胞瘤男性患者,另一名是间变性脑膜瘤女性患者。两人均存活,且未观察到严重不良事件。我们的研究结果表明,BNCT作为恶性脑肿瘤的姑息治疗将是安全的。
