Abstract
Liposomes with hyperosmotic concentration of compounds encapsulated therein are targeted to tumors for neutron capture therapy. The compounds have an element with a large neutron capture cross section and an isotope that emits alpha particles when bombarded with neutrons. A method employing such liposomes for neutron capture therapy is also described.
