Abstract
The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory's Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (INEL/BNCT) Program was initially established in 1984 to provide a new improved, effective treatment for Glioblastoma Multiforme. To address this need, the Program was organized with four goals in mind: (1) develop BNCT as a more effective brain tumor treatment, (2) expand BNCT application to other tumor types, (3) develop better boron compounds, and (4) deploy the technology to serve more patients.
