ConformalFLASH®: Maximizing the True Benefits of Proton FLASH
Explore the groundbreaking potential of FLASH Radiotherapy with IBA’s ConformalFLASH technology. FLASH radiotherapy delivers ultra-high radiation doses at extremely short irradiation times (≥ 40 Gy/s), significantly reducing normal tissue radiation toxicity compared to conventional therapy (0.03-1 Gy/s), with a dose-modifying factor of 1.2-1.6. This innovative approach enhances tumor control while sparing healthy tissues, offering superior efficacy in treating tumors. Preclinical studies have demonstrated the FLASH effect across various radiation types, including protons, photons, and electrons, with proton therapy showing significant normal tissue toxicity-sparing effects in both the plateau and Bragg Peak regions. IBA’s ConformalFLASH combines the physics-sparing benefits of proton therapy’s Bragg Peak with the biology-sparing benefits of ultra-high dose rate radiation. With successful demonstrations in canine models, this technology is now ready for first-in-human testing, paving the way for a new era in Radiation Oncology.
