ZUSAMMENSETZUNG UND VERFAHREN ZUR ANWENDUNG VON IN LIPOSOMEN EINGESCHLOSSENEN VERBINDUNGEN IN DER NEUTRONENEINFANGTHERAPIE VON TUMOREN

Liposomes with hyperosmotic concentration of compounds encapsulated therein are targeted to tumors for neutron capture therapy. The compounds have an element with a large neutron capture cross section and an isotope that emits alpha particles when bombarded with neutrons. A method employing such liposomes for neutron capture therapy is also described.
