Abstract
Two patients, one with malignant pleural mesothelioma and one with a malignant short spindle cell tumor, received boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). In each case, the tumors regressed or remained stable in size for 3-6 months following BNCT. No acute or late adverse events higher than grade 2 were observed.
