Description
Recent preclinical evidence suggests that ionizing radiation at ultra-high dose rates, also known as FLASH radiation therapy (FLASH-RT), can selectively reduce radiation damage to normal tissues while remaining as effective as conventional radiation therapy (CONV-RT) in killing tumours. In this review article, we explore the advantages of FLASH-RT in protecting normal tissues and its applicability in the treatment of gliomas. We also briefly discuss the challenges encountered with the use of FLASH-RT. Radiation therapy mainly involves irradiating tumor tissue with radiation to induce DNA damage and kill the tumor
