Abstract

[Extract] Evidences were recently established [1] that ultra- high dose rates [2] delivered in short times by pulsed beams [3] (“FLASH” radiotherapy) spares healthy tissues preserving efficacy. The cell-level mechanism of this effect is poorly understood. Different hypotheses are considered: differential radicals’ production/depletion, or detoxify/recover pathways, different intra/ inter cellular diffusion of toxic substances/recovery signaling.
