OBJECTIVE
Malignant meningiomas, similar to glioblastomas, are difficult tumors to control. We tried to control malignant tumors related to meningiomas by boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT).
METHODS
Since June 2005, we applied BNCT with 13 rounds of neutron irradiation to seven cases of malignant
