Figure 3From: Sonoporation as an enhancing method for boron neutron capture therapy for squamous cell carcinomasMacroscopic observation of tumors treated with BNCT. (A) SAS cells were inoculated into the leg of nude mouse subcutaneously and tumors were produced in 7Â days. (B) When treated with BPA-mediated BNCT in combination with sonoporation after the intraperitoneal injection of BPA, tumors became undetectable 18Â days later. The experiments for antitumor effect on BNCT were started at the time of neutron irradiation. (C) Untreated tumors 18Â days from the start of the experiment showed extensive growth.Back to article page
