Abstract
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has been performed at nuclear research reactors for many years. The development of accelerators for BNCT resulted in a paradigm shift from research to real clinical applications. In Japan, BNCT was approved as a clinical therapy covered by the National Health Insurance in 2020. In this article, the status of BNCT in Japan is briefly introduced.
