Auckland-based company Buckley Systems has developed and manufactured a machine which could help treat the most difficult cancers. Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) delivers targeted radiation to cancer cells while minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue and is capable of treating one patient per hour.
