Description

We have previously reported that the method using heavy ions irradiation in combination with photosensitizer was more effective for killing tumor cell than heavy ion irradiation alone in vitro. The aim of present study was to investigate the mechanism of cytotoxic effect of photosensitizer on heavy ions tumor therapy. (author)
