Article Synopsis
- FLASH radiotherapy is a new approach in cancer treatment that aims to reduce harmful side effects by using high radiation doses in a shorter time.
- Researchers studied how Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) responded to different radiation dose rates, comparing ultrahigh dose rates (UHDR) and conventional dose rates (CONV).
- The results showed that fruit flies exposed to UHDR rates had significantly higher survival and eclosion rates than those treated with CONV, suggesting potential benefits of FLASH therapy for normal tissue protection at certain doses.
