Neutron therapy

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab - which is located close to Chicago) has listed ASPS between the histologies Neutron therapy is appropriate - probably they had a success using it. This is the link to the list:

and there the links to the info about the location etc.
I asked them at some point if it can be used on the lungs and they said no it is more for the big unresectable or bad located primaries. I have heard some stories about successful use in the other radioresistant sarcoma types. Thre are a few other places where it can be done but patient can be reffered to the Fermilab from everywhere incl. international destinations, it was about 25,000 for the outsiders when I asked 3 years ago.
