Ultrahigh dose-rate radiotherapy: Next steps for FLASH-RT.

Ultrahigh dose-rate radiotherapy: Next steps for FLASH-RT. Clin Cancer Res. 2018 Aug 09;: Authors: Harrington KJ Abstract A new way of delivering radiotherapy at very high dose-rates is described and compared to conventional radiotherapy. The ultrahigh dose-rate therapy reduces damage to normal pig skin and exerts potent activity against spontaneous nasal tumours in cat patients. The implications for clinical development of this approach are discussed. PMID: 30093447 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
