Ultra high dose rate Synchrotron Microbeam Radiation Therapy. Preclinical evidence in view of a clinical transfer. Radiother Oncol. 2019 Jul 12;: Authors: Eling L, Bouchet A, Nemoz C, Djonov V, Balosso J, Laissue J, Bräuer-Krisch E, Adam JF, Serduc R Abstract This paper reviews the current state of the art of an emerging form of radiosurgery dedicated to brain tumour treatment and which operates at very high dose rate (kGy·s-1). Microbeam Radiation Therapy uses synchrotron-generated X-rays which triggered normal tissue sparing partially mediated by FLASH effect. PMID: 31307824 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
