The International Society for Neutron Capture Therapy

The International Society for Neutron Capture Therapy ISNCT https://isnct.net/) invites the PTCOG community to its 21st International Congress on Neutron Capture Therapy ICNCT-21, to be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina from October 25th to 30th. Registration is still open. Further information is available at: https://icnct21.unsam.edu.ar/.

Founded in 1983, the International Society for Neutron Capture Therapy (ISNCT) is a multidisciplinary nonprofit professional and educational association that aims to facilitate the continuing development of Neutron Capture Therapy (NCT) as a modality of radiation oncology for the treatment of some of the most serious forms of cancer. Its scientific areas of interest span chemistry, neutron source technology, medical physics and biophysics, radiobiology, and clinical applications of NCT, bringing together clinicians, physicists, chemists, biologists and engineers from around the world. Recently the Constitution of the Society has been renewed, making it a legal entity and defining its governing body and its technical groups. The ISNCT sponsors a major biennial International Congress in each even-numbered year, as well as periodic multinational conferences focused on early-career researchers and students, thus providing an environment that encourages constant communication and collaboration among all scientists involved in NCT worldwide.

The ISNCT reaches out to scientists through a dedicated body, the Communication Task Force (CTF), composed by voluntary researchers preparing high-quality contents regularly shared through different channels. We invite you to explore our website, facebook, instagram, linkedin, twitter and WeChat. You can also reach the CTF at [email protected]. We are convinced that the ongoing exchange and mutual enrichment through experiences, ideas, methods, and results can significantly improve the overall quality of particle therapy and foster innovation, and we emphasize our commitment within the framework of the PTCOG BNCT Subcommittee.
