Gadolinium in human glioblastoma cells for gadolinium neutron capture therapy.
157Gd is a potential agent for neutron capture cancer therapy (GdNCT). We directly observed the microdistribution of Gd in cultured human glioblastoma cells exposed to Gd-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA). We demonstrated, with three independent techniques, that Gd-DTPA penetrates the plasma membrane, and we observed no deleterious effect on cell survival. A systematic microchemical ...
متن کاملAre gadolinium contrast agents suitable for gadolinium neutron capture therapy?
OBJECTIVE Gadolinium neutron capture therapy (GdNCT) is a potential treatment for malignant tumors based on two steps: (1) injection of a tumor-specific (157)Gd compound; (2) tumor irradiation with thermal neutrons. The GdNC reaction can induce cell death provided that Gd is proximate to DNA. Here, we studied the nuclear uptake of Gd by glioblastoma (GBM) tumor cells after treatment with two Gd...
متن کاملEstimation of neutron kerma in biological tissue containing boron and gadolinium compounds for neutron capture therapy
where kD=1.602 10 Gy⋅g/MeV — energy conversion factor from MeV to Gy×g, (obtained from the known ratio: 1 MeV=1.602 10 J); Е – neutron energy, MeV; Ф(r,Е) dE – neutron flux in the point r on the energy interval dE, neutron/cm/s: ni – atomic density of the i-th nuclide of the medium, atom/cm; σij(E) –microscopic cross-section of reaction j at interaction of a neutron with energy Е on the i-th nu...
متن کاملEvaluation of the relative biological effectiveness of the Auger electrons produced during gadolinium neutron capture therapy using microdosimetric approach
Determination of the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of Auger electrons is a challenging task in radiobiology. In this study, we have estimated the RBE of internal conversion (IC) and Auger electrons released during Gadolinium neutron capture reaction (GNCR) by means of biological weighting functions (BWFs) with microdosimetric approach. Regarding the different distribution of Gadoliniu...
متن کامل10B Concentration, Phantom Size and Tumor Location Dependent Dose Enhancement and Neutron Spectra in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
Background: The amount of average dose enhancement in tumor loaded with 10B may vary due to various factors in boron neutron capture therapy.Objective: This study aims to evaluate dose enhancement in tumor loaded with 10B under influence of various factors and investigate the dependence of this dose enhancement on neutron spectra changes.Material and Methods: In this simulation stud...
