Understanding the FLASH effect to unravel the potential of ultra-high dose rate irradiation

Houda Kacem et al.

Summary: Research on delivering radiation at ultra-high dose rates (UHDRs) has gained interest in the radiation sciences, particularly due to the promising FLASH effect observed. The potential clinical implications of FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) are significant, as it could enhance treatment efficacy while minimizing toxicity. Pioneering research teams are now investigating the mechanisms and clinical translation of the FLASH effect in order to advance this new field of study.

The current status of preclinical proton FLASH radiation and future directions

Eric S. Diffenderfer et al.

Summary: The review discusses the current status of proton FLASH experimental systems, highlighting both physical and biological results from preclinical studies. While no reproducible proton FLASH effect was observed in vitro, a significant sparing effect on normal tissue toxicity was seen in vivo with multiple proton FLASH irradiation systems. Future development areas focus on maximizing the therapeutic ratio between tumor and normal tissue response for clinical translation of proton FLASH radiation.

Validation of an ultrahigh dose rate pulsed electron beam monitoring system using a current transformer for FLASH preclinical studies

Patrik Goncalves Jorge et al.

Summary: In this study, commercially available beam current transformers (BCTs) were used as online monitoring tools to support CONV and UHDR irradiations in preclinical FLASH research. The results showed that the BCTs consistently determined the number of pulses, pulse width (PW), and pulse repetition frequency (PRF). The measured exit charge from the BCTs was correlated with the dose, with uncertainties of 0.5% in CONV mode and 3% in UHDR mode. The short- and long-term stabilities of the dose-to-charge ratio were below 1.6%.

Demonstration of the FLASH Effect Within the Spread-out Bragg Peak After Abdominal Irradiation of Mice

Tucker Evans et al.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of FLASH-level dose rates on normal tissue damage in mice, showing that mice exposed to FLASH dose rates had a higher LD50 value and improved survivability compared to mice exposed to conventional dose rates. The results suggest the potential benefits of combining the advantages of the Bragg peak with the normal tissue sparing benefits of FLASH treatments.

Al2O3:C optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters (OSLDs) for ultra-high dose rate proton dosimetry

Jeppe Brage Christensen et al.

Summary: The Al2O3:C optically stimulated luminescence detectors were found to be dose rate independent and applicable for radiobiological experiments in proton beams at ultra-high dose rates, with minimal deviation from nominal doses. Two setups for ultra-high dose rate experiments were presented, as well as a new method to extract beam spot size of narrow pencil beams.

Commissioning of a clinical pencil beam scanning proton therapy unit for ultra-high dose rates (FLASH)

Konrad P. Nesteruk et al.

Summary: This study aimed to adapt a former clinical pencil beam scanning gantry for proton FLASH research, achieving high dose rate irradiations by optimizing beamline parameters, characterizing dose monitors, and exploring scanning possibilities. The setup allowed for precise control of dose delivery in spot-scanning mode and enabled the investigation of a wide dose rate spectrum, making it a versatile test bench for FLASH research.

FLASH Proton Radiotherapy Spares Normal Epithelial and Mesenchymal Tissues While Preserving Sarcoma Response

Anastasia Velalopoulou et al.

Summary: The study shows that F-PRT has fewer toxicities and can spare normal tissues while providing antitumor efficacy equivalent to standard proton therapy. F-PRT reduced skin injury, stem cell depletion, inflammation, and late effects in murine experiments, and was effective in controlling sarcoma models.

Irradiation at Ultra-High (FLASH) Dose Rates Reduces Acute Normal Tissue Toxicity in the Mouse Gastrointestinal System

Jia-Ling Ruan et al.

Summary: The study showed that FLASH irradiation can spare mouse small intestinal crypts and reduce changes in gut microbiome composition compared with CONV irradiation. The higher the average dose rate, the larger the FLASH effect, which is also influenced by the temporal pulse structure of the delivery.
