Abstract
The microdistribution and chemical state of boron in human tissue samples treated with Na2B12H11SH (BSH) for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) are investigated. The products of tissue ashing can be identified by comparing X ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra from ashed tissue with those from reference compounds. Samples of human glioblastoma from two patients administered with BSH and one patient not administered with BSH are analyzed in the MEPHISTO spetromicroscope. Results show the in vivo metabolism of BSH to a different chemical state.
