Evaluation of Antitumor Efficiency of High Intensity Radiation 169Yb Source on Experimental Sarcoma M-1
Abstract
Rats with sarcoma M-1 were exposed to high dose rate irradiation with 169Yb source. In 25 days after introduction of a trocar with sealed capsule with 169Yb source into the tumor, complete tumor regression was observed in 70% animals. The results suggest feasibility of using 169Yb source for high-dose rate brachytherapy and development of the personalized medicine approaches.
