脑肿瘤其实就是脑细胞产生癌症。由于脑子关系到人体的神经中枢,长期以来脑肿瘤的治疗比起其他癌症的治疗更显得困难。目前采用的手术切除法,或是高强度射线照射法效果并不理想,死亡率仍然相当高。近些年来,日本核技术工作者与临床医生密切配合,在反应堆上施用硼-10中子俘 Brain tumors are actually brain cells that produce cancer. Because the brain is related to the nerve center of the human body, long-term treatment of brain tumors is more difficult than the treatment of other cancers. The current surgical resection method or high-intensity ray irradiation method is not satisfactory and the mortality rate is still quite high. In recent years, Japanese nuclear technicians have worked closely with clinicians to apply boron-10 neutron capture to reactors.
