Abstract:
In recent years,FLASH radiotherapy(FLASH-RT),as a cutting-edge radiotherapy technology,has developed rapidly in basic research and clinical trials.FLASH-RT can deliver ultra-high dose rate(average dose rate≥40 Gy/s,instantaneous dose rate≥100 Gy/s)irradia-tion in a very short time(usually≤500 ms).Under the premise of maintaining equivalent tumor control rates,the normal tissue injury is less than that of conventional irradiation at the same dose,that is known as the FLASH effect.FLASH-RT has unique advantages and is currently the frontier field of radiation oncology.The research and development of FLASH-RT have progressed rapidly in China,this paper elucidated the new challenges and opportunities of FLASH-RT in China.
