Since Locher first suggested Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT)
in 1936, this theoretically ideal system has intrigued
investigators. Unfortunately, the first clinical trials between
1951-1961 were not successful. However, they served to implant
firmly the seed of BNCT, the growth of which has been carefully
nurtured at a number of locations world-wide. This fact is attested
to by the ongoing clinical trials in Japan as well as by the
presence of researchers from active groups in the ten countries
represented at this Workshop. In 1983 and 1985, the first and
second international biannual symposia on BNCT were held, in
response to a resurgence of interest in this field. In 1986, the
DOE sponsored a workshop on NCT, in large part directed toward
evaluating the national effort and the various neutron sources
available within the United States. It now seems likely, because of
various factors including improved neutron beams and boron delivery
systems which have made the modality more attractive, that clinical
trials will be initiated in the United States within the next few
years. This 1988 special workshop, interspersed between the
biannual international symposia, represents an effort to seek ideas
and advice on the clinical a pects of BNCT, from all those diverse
groups with a national commitment to this project. Our purpose is
to facilitate our endeavor to incorporate the best procedures and
techniques in the upcoming clinical trials.
