Advancing neutron capture therapy
towards better lives.

The Norwegian Society for Neutron Capture Therapy (NSNCT) is a non-profit, multidisciplinary professional association. NSNCT is committed to advancing Neutron Capture Therapy (NCT) both as a cancer treatment procedure and a tool for managing specific diseases.

NSNCT's purpose is to help develop NCT in various scientific areas and brings together professionals from different fields. Scientific areas of focus include:

• Synthetic and analytical chemistry
• Neutron source technology
• Medical physics and biophysics
• Radiobiology
• Clinical applications of NCT

NSNCT facilitates disseminating accurate scientific information about NCT, raising awareness of research findings, establishing connections with other professional societies and relevant international organisations, and undertaking other initiatives as deemed appropriate to advance the field.

NSNCT fosters communication and collaboration among scientists and individuals worldwide engaged in NCT-related activities.

NSNCT is an associated organisation of the International Society for Neutron Capture Therapy (ISNCT).

NSNCT is a parallel organisation to other national societies for neutron capture therapy (SNCT), including JSNCT (Japan), TSNCT (Taiwan), and German Society of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (DGBNCT).

NSNCT undertakes various initiatives as deemed appropriate to advance the field of NCT. These initiatives may include organising events, conferences, and activities that contribute to the growth and development of NCT.

NSNCT serves as a hub for professionals involved in NCT, promoting collaboration, disseminating information, and contributing to the advancement of Neutron Capture Therapy in the global scientific community.
