Modifications to maintain the intracellular uptake of synthetic amino acids and neutron capture therapy to protect normal cells

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a means with which it is possible to selectively improve the amount of a boron-containing compound accumulated in cancer cells. The present invention pertains to the use of at least one type of amino acid and/or at least one type of amino acid transport system inhibitor, these being used to improve the amount of a boron-containing compound accumulated in cancer cells.
