Abstract
In this article, we present the modern state of development of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for cancer treatment using compact neutron generators. In the introduction we consider the main advantages and problems of the BNCT method, the main approaches and directions for building neutron sources, the development of chemical materials – boron-containing delivery agents and the control of irradiation of malignant tumours and healthy tissues. In the main part of the article we consider the main structures of neutron generators that can be effective for applying in BNCT. The development and building of a prototype of a compact neutron generator is also described.
