Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Males and females 19 years of age or older (at the date of written informed consent) 2. Subjects who have at least one measurable lesion by RECIST (v1.1) criteria 3. Subjects with histologically confirmed locally or regionally recurrent squamous cell or non-squamous cell head and neck cancer with primary site of disease identified as the nasopharynx, oral cavity or oropharynx, hypopharynx, lips, larynx, salivary glands, nasal cavity, and paranasal sinuses. 4. Subjects whose tumor location is confirmed as follows 4-1) The tumor center is located between the arresting surface and the mucosa, and the tumor is located within 7 cm of the body surface 4-2) Target lesion is located within 12 cm in diameter 5. Subjectss who have been previously irradiated with 75 Gy or less when applying radiotherapy alone or concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the following ways 5-1) Radical radiation alone or radiochemotherapy (Definitive RT/CRT) 5-2) Postoperative radiation alone or radiochemotherapy (Surgery + PORT/CRT) Those who are refractory to conventional standard therapy or have disease progression, or for whom there is no currently available standard therapy due to intolerance/inappropriateness, poor prognosis, or refusal of standard therapy. 5-3) Induction chemotherapy and radiation alone or radiochemotherapy (Induction CTx+Definitive RT/CRT) 5-4) Induction chemotherapy and postoperative radiation alone or radiochemotherapy (Induction CTx+Surgery+PORT/CRT) 5-5) Preoperative radiation alone or radiochemotherapy followed by surgery (Preoperative RT/CRT+Surgery) 5-6) Radiation therapy with Cetuximab (Cetuximab+RT) 6. Subjects who are defined as follows for currently applicable therapies 6-1) (For Phase I clinical trials) Patients who are refractory to existing standard therapy or have disease progression, or for whom there is no currently available standard therapy due to intolerance/inappropriateness, poor prognosis, or refusal of standard therapy. 6-2) (For Phase II clinical trials) Patients who are inoperable, ineligible for re-radiation therapy, and ineligible PD-1/PD-L1/EGFR inhibitors. *Inoperable: defined as unresectable, medically inoperable, or patient refusal of surgery. *Ineligible for re-radation theraspy: defined as unresectable, inoperable (medically inoperable), or the patient refuses to undergo surgery. *Ineligible for PD-1/PD-L1/EGFR inhibitor: defined as ineligible or refused by the patient due to concerns about serious adverse events, and no history of treatment after relapse. 7. ECOG =2 8. Subjects with adequate hematologic, renal, and hepatic function as determined by the following (one retest of laboratory tests is allowed during screening) - ANC =1,500/mm3 - Platelet count =100,000/mm3 - Hemoglobin =9 g/dL - Serum Cr or CrCL (Cockcroft-gault equation)=1.5 x ULN (=60 mL/min) - Total bilirubin=1.5 x ULN (=3.0 x ULN for Gilbert's syndrome) - AST and ALT=3 x ULN - PT (INR) and aPTT =1.5 × ULN (if on anticoagulation, unless within therapeutic range for the intended use of anticoagulation) 9. Subjects who are expected to survive at least 90 days after BNCT. 10. Subjects who can lie down or sit in the treatment position confirmed at BNCT simulation prescription or set-up visit for 30 minutes to 1 hour. 11. Subjects who are able to provide tissue samples 12. Subjects with no metal implants such as cardiac pacemakers, etc. 13. Subjects who voluntarily decide to participate and give written informed

Subjects who have received the following drug/non-drug therapies 3-1) Other anticancer therapy within 4 weeks prior to the date of BNCT 3-2) Major surgery for head and neck cancer within 4 weeks of screening visit and minor surgery within 1 week of screening visit 3-3) Radiation therapy to the target lesion within 24 weeks of the date of BNCT 3-4) History of previous BNCT 3-5) Use of other investigational drugs and medical devices within 4 weeks of the date of BNCT 4.
