title: COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY AND ACCUMULATION OF LITHIUM AND BORON IN SKIN MELANOMA CELLS IN VITRO
abstract: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiation therapy modality based on the high capability of the non-radioactive isotope 10B to absorb thermal neutrons. The use of alternative isotope 6Li for lithium neutron capture therapy (LiNCT) may be a promising area in the treatment of oncological diseases, but at present the data on the possibilities of lithium accumulation in tumor cells are limited to some sporadic studies.
