Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To clarify the role of p53 in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the effect of BNCT on oral SCC xenografts with either wild-type or mutant-type p53 was examined. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Oral SCC cells expressing either wild-type (SAS/neo) or mutant-type p53 (SAS/mp53) were used to produce nude mouse tumours. Tumour-bearing mice received boronophenylalanine (BPA)...
