FLASH proton radiotherapy

Posted on March 4, 2024April 30, 2024 by admin

Studies over the past decade suggest that ultra-high dose rates, exceeding 40 Gy/s, termed “FLASH” radiotherapy, improve the therapeutic index of radiation therapy (RT) by reducing normal tissue damage while maintaining tumor response compared to conventional RT.
