Quick Hits: Radiation Therapy Could Get a Lot More Efficient

However, a recent New Atlas article discussed a new form of FLASH radiotherapy that crams the entire course of treatment into one second, drastically reducing the opportunity for collateral damage to the healthy parts of the body. A team of researchers at University of Pennsylvania found that changing the fundamental particle used in the treatment makes FLASH radiotherapy much more effective.
