Data are presented as mean ± standard error (n=9).

a

Ratio of the dose of radiation necessary to obtain each end-point without combined treatment to that needed to obtain each end-point with the combined treatment; MTH, mild temperature hyperthermia; BPA, L-para-boronophenylalanine-10B; BSH, sodium mercaptoundecahydrododecaborate-10B;

b–g

Differences between two values labeled with the same letter are significant (P<0.05).
