Flash RT

Funny, this morning I was just wondering how Flash RT was progressing and there is an article in the news.

The center where I had my treatment is also researching this.

Loo is cautiously optimistic that going forwards, such benefits may also translate to human patients. "Flash produces less normal tissue injury than conventional irradiation, without compromising anti-tumour efficacy – which could be game-changing," he says. An additional hope is that this could then reduce the risk of secondary cancers, resulting from radiation-induced damage later in life, although it is still too early to know if that will be the case.

The paper I was reading was on proton flash for PCa

Thanks Mark for sharing this optimistic article. You've managed to take away the discomfort of this morning's Firmagon shot 😆

Thanks. It may not be the end game for this disease but every little bit helps and potentially reduced toxicity means re treatment may be more feasible if necessary.

And combining it with BgRT (PET scanner + RT) means it can target Mets with better safety.
