(5) Other anti-cancer therapies (e.g., chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy) within 4 weeks before the date of BNCT. (6) Surgery for recurrent/progressive glioblastoma‡ within 8 weeks before the date of BNCT. ‡: Minor surgeries (e.g., stereotactic biopsy) may be permitted at the investigator's discretion if the patient has fully recovered. (7) Administration or application of other investigational drugs/devices within 4 weeks before the date of BNCT. 4) (If taking corticosteroids) Individuals who did not receive a stable dose of corticosteroids or did not reduce the dosage at least one week before MRI imaging. 5) Individuals with intracranial hemorrhage detected on MRI§ §: Patients with asymptomatic hemosiderin deposition, punctate tumor-related hemorrhage, or resolved surgery-related hemorrhagic changes may be eligible. 6) Individuals unable to undergo required imaging tests (e.g., MRI, CT, PET/CT). 7) Pregnant or breastfeeding women. 8) Women and men of childbearing potential who plan to conceive or do not agree to use appropriate contraception during the clinical trial. Appropriate contraception includes: (1) Hormonal contraceptives (oral, injectable, or implantable). (2) Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS).
