Research Abstract

Based on the developed method both for detecting the potential for controlling local tumors including intratumor quiescent cells and for evaluating pulmonary distant metastases from local tumors, releasing intratumor acute hypoxia leads to reduction of pulmonary metastatic potential, and boron neutron capture therapy with BSH (sodium borocaptate-10B) and with BPA (L-para-boronophenylalanin-10B) result in increasing the potential for controlling local tumors and suppressing the pulmonary distant metastatic potential, respectively.
Intratumor oxic quiescent cells were shown to have a greater recovery capacity like cancer stem cells, but not hypoxic, through selectively detecting their radio-sensitivity.
The compound biological effectiveness values for neutron capture agents that deliver into solid tumors more dependently on uptake capacity of tumor cells became more changeable. The value may be one of the indices showing the degree of tumor heterogeneity.
