FLASH Radiotherapy: Mechanisms, Preclinical Evidence, and Clinical Potential

2025-10-30

Abstract excerpt

Radiotherapy is a cornerstone of cancer treatment but is limited by damage to healthy tissues. FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) is an emerging technique that delivers radiation at ultra-high dose rates (typically ≥40 Gy per second in under a second) to widen the therapeutic window. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that FLASH-RT can produce a "FLASH effect," wherein normal tissues suffer significantly less toxici...
