BPA-F - A substance used in a form of radiation therapy called boron neutron capture therapy. BPA-F is injected into a blood vessel and accumulates in tumor cells. The patient then receives radiation therapy using atomic particles called neutrons. The neutrons react with the boron in BPA-F and produce radioactive particles that kill the tumor cells without harming normal cells. Also called boronophenylalanine fructose complex
