Title: Neutron capture therapy: Years of experimentation---Years of reflection

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10137473· OSTI ID:10137473

This report describes early research on neutron capture therapy over a number of years, beginning in 1950, speaking briefly of patient treatments but dwelling mostly on interpretations of our animal experiments. This work carried out over eighteen years, beginning over forty years ago. Yet, it is only fitting to start by relating how neutron capture therapy became part of Brookhaven`s Medical Research Center program.
