To investigate ultra-high dose rate therapy (UHDRT) improves the protection of normal tissues and reduces side effects while effectively controlling tumors. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain how ultra-high dose rates can produce these effects u...

Total Skin Electron Therapy (TSET) treats cutaneous lymphomas and other superficial malignancies by delivering a uniform electron dose over the skin. Partial-body rotational TSET requires shielding of critical structures, but conventional bulky lead shields n...

FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH‑RT) employs ultra‑high dose rates (UHDR) that preferentially spare normal tissues relative to conventional dose‑rate radiotherapy (CONV‑RT) while maintaining tumor control, this is known as the FLASH effect. A proposed mechanistic ex...
