abstract = {Almost half a million people are newly diagnosed with
cancer every year in Germany. Despite the tremendous
progress that has been made across the various sciences
involved in the field of cancer diagnosis and therapy, it
remains a severe threat for every patient confronted with
such a diagnosis. Combination of chemical and radiation
therapy nowadays are the standard treatments to cure many
patients. Although neutrons have been applied here in
particular boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is
considered with great potential to cure against cancer as a
kind of “cellular surgery”. First experiments happened
in the early sixties and seventies but availability of
epithermal neutrons only at research neutron facilities
hampered its application. In recent years this situation for
the application of BNCT to patients is changing with the
advent of powerful accelerator-based neutron sources. First
projects have started at hospitals in Japan and similar
projects are underway in Finland, England and Italy. In
Germany the society for BNCT (DGBNCT e.V.) was founded
recently to promote this therapy.In this presentation the
state of the art in BNCT treatment and research will be
presented, the new BNCT projects worldwide and the efforts
in Europe and Germany to promote and establish the therapy
in the fight against cancer.},
