Boron neutron capture therapy combines elements of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in order to achieve the selective irradiation of tumour tissue. A non-toxic boron compound with affinity for the tumour is combined with thermal neutrons to achieve selective tumour kill amongst normal tissue cells. © Plenum Press
