Abstract

A technique to produce radiation enhancement during interstitial brain tumor irradiation by using a radiation sensitizer (iododeoxyuridine-IdUrd) and by stimulation of Auger electron cascades through absorption of low-energy photons in iodine is described. Clinical studies using iododeoxyuridine,¹⁹²Ir as a brachytherapy source, and external radiation have produced promising results. Substituting¹⁴⁵Sm for¹⁹²Ir in this protocol is planned to evaluate the enhanced dose resulting from photon activation therapy.
