This paper summarizes a comprehensive calculational study that provides an assessment of the radiation dose received by a glioblastoma multiforme patient treated by boron neutron capture therapy in Japan in mid-1993. This work is an extension of an earlier dosimetry evaluation of a different patient and uses a similar methodology to calculate the radiation doses.
