Could BNCT be an option after chemotherapy and immunotherapy stop working?

BNCT may be considered for selected patients with recurrent or treatment-resistant head and neck cancers. Eligibility depends on the tumor's location, disease extent, previous treatments, imaging, and the specialist team's assessment.

How long does BNCT treatment take in China?

The BNCT procedure itself can be completed in a single irradiation session. In Sergei's case, the treatment process involving boron infusion, positioning simulation, and neutron irradiation took approximately 30 minutes. The total hospital stay depends on the patient's individual evaluation, preparation, treatment, and follow-up requirements.

How can a Russian or other international patient apply for BNCT treatment in China?

The process begins with a medical case review. Patients typically need to provide their pathology, imaging, treatment history, and current clinical information so the treating team can determine whether BNCT is appropriate. ChinaCureLink can coordinate the medical review and practical arrangements for eligible international patients.
