一些实验性的癌症治疗正设法用碘来提高电离放射对细胞的杀死力。目前研究人员通过选择性地使碘与癌细胞的 DNA 结合,已能使肿块的照射治疗对全身或健康组织有更高的选择性。这表明,减轻对病人进行常规照射治疗所产生的某些毒副作用是可能的。一些研究人员相信,这些方法或许对目前某些无可救药的癌症有效。波士顿国立肿瘤研究所放射治疗学专家 Kinsella T 对某些患有无法治愈的恶性胶 Some experimental cancer treatments are trying to use iodine to increase the killing power of cells by ionizing radiation. Currently, researchers have been able to selectively sensitize iodine to the DNA of cancer cells to make it more selective for whole body or healthy tissue. This shows that it is possible to reduce some of the toxic side effects of conventional radiation therapy on patients. Some researchers believe that these methods may be effective for some currently incurable cancers.
