Spontaneous Testicular Teratomas in an Inbred Strain of Mice

Abstract

Neutron-capture therapy is an experimental procedure for achieving selective irradiation of a diseased tissue by inducing radioactivity throughout that tissue.The radioactivity is induced in situ by the capture of thermal neutrons by a suit- able target element.For best effects the target element is so chosen that decay of the excited isotope is immediate and results in energetic heavy particles, for ex- ample, alpha particles.The advantages of heavy particles are that they have short 1087
