DataSheet1_Treatment planning of intracranial lesions with VHEE: comparing conventional and FLASH irradiation potential with state-of-the-art photon and proton radiotherapy.pdf [PDF]

, 2023
The treatment of deep-seated tumours with electrons of very high energies (VHEE, 70–150 MeV) has already been explored in the past, suggesting that a dosimetric coverage comparable with state-of-the-art proton (PT) or photon radiotherapy (RT) could be ...

Multilevel mortality risk factors among pediatric hematology‐oncology patients with deterioration

Cancer, Volume 131, Issue 8, 15 April 2025.
Abstract Background Hospitalized pediatric hematology‐oncology patients have frequent clinical deterioration events (CDEs) requiring intensive care unit (ICU) interventions and resulting in high mortality, particularly in resource‐limited settings. This study identifies independent risk factors for CDE mortality in hospitals providing childhood cancer ...

On the acceptance, commissioning, and quality assurance of electron FLASH units

Medical Physics, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 1207-1223, February 2025.
Abstract Background and purpose FLASH or ultra‐high dose rate (UHDR) radiation therapy (RT) has gained attention in recent years for its ability to spare normal tissues relative to conventional dose rate (CDR) RT in various preclinical trials. However, clinical implementation of this promising treatment option has been limited because of the lack of ...

Monte Carlo calculated absorbed‐dose energy dependence of EBT3 and EBT4 films for 5–200 MeV electrons and 100 keV–15 MeV photons

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 25, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Purpose To use Monte Carlo simulations to study the absorbed‐dose energy dependence of GAFChromic EBT3 and EBT4 films for 5–200 MeV electron beams and 100 keV–15 MeV photon beams considering two film compositions: a previous EBT3 composition (Bekerat et al.) and the final composition of EBT3/current composition of EBT4 (Palmer et al ...

Initial experience with an electron FLASH research extension (FLEX) for the Clinac system

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Purpose Radiotherapy delivered at ultra‐high‐dose‐rates (≥40 Gy/s), that is, FLASH, has the potential to effectively widen the therapeutic window and considerably improve the care of cancer patients. The underlying mechanism of the FLASH effect is not well understood, and commercial systems capable of delivering such dose rates are scarce. The
