Abstract
The phenomenon of thermal-neutron capture to develop radiation in situ in patients suffering from glioblastoma multiforme was utilized. The concept of selective kinetics to localize this radiation to the sites desired was applied. Results to date were encouraging and have suggested numerous other basic studies required for fuller development of this therapeutic approach.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
