Spontaneous Testicular Teratomas in an Inbred Strain of Mice

In view of the paucity of information about teratomas in mice, their occurrence in the testes of an inbred strain is of conderable interest, especially since they appear spontaneously in a definite proporon of males.

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
