  1. Pt, patient; y, year; F, female; M, male; Original dis, original disease; SCC, Squamous cell carcinoma; Sal. Duc. Ca, salivary ductal carcinoma; GBM, glioblastoma; Ade. Ca, adenocarcinoma; XRT, X-ray radiation treatment; IMRT ,intensity modulated radiation therapy; BNCT, boron neutron capture therapy; Proton, proton beam therapy; MTX, methotrexate; ACNU, nimustin; Herceptin, trastuzumab;
  2. aIn Pt. 1 and 2, the temporal lobe was included in the irradiation field and in Pt. 3, 4, 5, and 6, local radiation therapy was administered. Pt. 7 had received whole brain irradiation and received SRS twice. In BNCT, the presented dose is the peak point dose for the normal brain.
  3. bMonths between termination of the last radiotherapy and onset of symptoms caused by radiation necrosis.
