The President of the International Society for Neutron Capture Therapy (ISNCT) and the Organizing Committee of the Twelfth International Congress on Neutron Capture Therapy (ICNCT-12) invite you to attend the ICNCT-12, to be held October 9th -13th, 2006 in Takamatsu, Kagawa, Japan.
Various groups related to Neutron Capture Therapy (NCT) worldwide have reported significant developments in biology, medicine, chemistry, medical physics & engineering, and clinical trials in recent years. In Japan, a team has treated tumors in head & neck and another team has started treatment on liver and lung cancers. Those treatments have been carried with the combination of BSH and BPA which have yielded successful results. During ICNCT-12, we will talk about these and other encouraging procedures with result of BNCT around the world. The congress will be organized to coincide with the 3rd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Neutron Capture Therapy.
We expect many excellent papers and constructive discussions at the congress which will give a big push for continued development of NCT.
As shown by our opening page, we hope all of you will be able to enjoy the five-day congress at the beautiful autumn season in Japan.
President of ISNCT & ICNCT-12
