<b>Patients who may benefit from neutron therapy include: </b>

Newly diagnosed patients with unresectable (inoperable) disease, or residual disease following surgery (positive margins). 

Patients whose disease has recurred after surgery. 

Patients who want to avoid the surgical option of amputation. 

Patients with localized brain metastasis from primary sarcoma

Patients whose tumors are too large to be effectively treated with photon therapy.

<b>Neutron therapy is appropriate for: </b>

Metastatic radioresistant tumors 

Advanced Brain Tumors
