Possible mechanisms and simulation modeling of FLASH radiotherapy.
FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) has great potential to improve patient outcomes. It delivers radiation doses at an ultra-high dose rate (UHDR: ≥ 40 Gy/s) in a single instant or a few pulses. Much higher irradiation doses can be administered to tumors with FLASH-RT than with conventional dose rate (0.01-0.40 Gy/s) radiotherapy. UHDR irradiation can suppress toxicity in normal tissues while sustaining antitumor efficiency, which is referred to as the FLASH effect. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects of the FLASH remain unclear. To clarify these mechanisms, the development of simulation models that can contribute to treatment planning for FLASH-RT is still underway. Previous studies indicated that transient oxygen depletion or augmented reactions between secondary reactive species produced by irradiation may be involved in this process. To discuss the possible mechanisms of the FLASH effect and its clinical potential, we summarized the physicochemical, chemical, and biological perspectives as well as the development of simulation modeling for FLASH-RT.
期刊介绍：
The purpose of the journal Radiological Physics and Technology is to provide a forum for sharing new knowledge related to research and development in radiological science and technology, including medical physics and radiological technology in diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy among many other radiological disciplines, as well as to contribute to progress and improvement in medical practice and patient health care.
