heal.abstractPURPOSE: In photon activation therapy (PAT), energy deposition at critical sites within a tumor can be increased by complexing the DNA with higher Z atoms, and provoking the emission of Auger electrons after inducing a photoelectric effect. This in vivo study evaluates the hypothesis using X-rays from palladium-103 seeds to excite the L-edge of platinum (Pt) atoms bound to the DNA of cancerous cells. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Pt (II) tetrakis(N-methyl-4-pyridyl) porphyrin chloride was used to locate Pt atoms adjacent to the DNA of the KHJJ murine mammary carcinoma; a 2.3-mCi palladium-103 seed was implanted in the tumor. RESULTS: The tumor periphery received subtherapeutic doses. The rate of tumor growth in mice treated with PAT was slower than in mice treated with brachytherapy only. CONCLUSIONS: The tumor growth delay for PAT-treated mice is attributed to Auger emission from Pt atoms that produced substantial local damage. However, other co-existing mechanisms cannot be ruled out.en
