Abstract

Background and Objective: Recent experimental studies using ultra-high dose rate radiation therapy (FLASH-RT) have shown improved normal tissue sparing and comparable tumor control compared to conventional dose rate radiotherapy (RT). Pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy with superior dosimetry characteristics has begun to draw attention to the delivery of conformal FLASH-RT for preclinical studies. This review aims to provide recent updates on the development of PBS FLASH-RT.
