Abstract |
Rodent brain tumor models have been very useful in advancing the treatment of glioblastomas. This review focuses on the four most widely used rodent brain tumor models: the C6, 9L, and F98 rat gliomas, and the GL261 murine glioma. All of these have been used in studies relating to boron neutron capture therapy. The most important of these studies were those using the 9L gliosarcoma, which led to the clinical use of boronophenylalanine, and the F98 glioma, which has been used for the preclinical evaluation of new boron delivery agents and methods of optimizing their delivery.
