Flash Radiotherapy: Innovative Cancer Treatment

Flash radiotherapy (Flash-RT) is an innovative technique used in for cancer treatment because it delivers extremely high dose of radiation (>40 Gy/s) to the tumour a very short period time, typically within fraction second. This ultra-fast delivery distinguishes Flash-RT from conventional radiotherapy, which involves over longer time period, often several minutes. Studies conducted cell and preclinical models suggested that may spare normal tissues radiation-related side effects, such as skin toxicity, gastrointestinal complications, damage organs-at-risk. believed be due unique tissue response ultra-high rate. Nevertheless, while shows promising results early clinical studies, one should note still stages development. entry provides comprehensive exploration immense potentials Flash-RT, covering its background, mechanisms, sources, recent experimental findings based on models, future prospects. It aims provide valuable insights into this technology anyone interested subject.
