Researchers Treat Brain Cancer Without Side Effects

Oncologists use FLASH radiation to deliver quicker doses to prevent side effects.

When a cancer patient undergoes radiation treatment, cancer cells are killed, but exposure to radiation also attacks healthy tissue, which leads to undesirable side effects. A recent UCI News article discussed a new method of cancer treatment that aims to eliminate this collateral damage. Researchers from UCI and Switzerland’s Lausanne University Hospital are experimenting with FLASH radiation therapy that delivers the same dose as traditional radiation, but in tenths of seconds.
