[ 1 ] - Effect of dose rate on antitumor activity in hypoxic cells by using flattening filter free beams

Background: Recently, the Flattening Filter Free (FFF) beams, which allow a dose rate increase of up to four times compared to the normal dose rate, have been incorporated into radiation therapy machines. The aim of this study is to evaluate antitumor activity in hypoxic cells irradiated with different dose rates using FFF beams and to identify the casual mechanism for cellular damage during ir...
