July 2024 in “Frontiers in Oncology” This study investigated the tissue-sparing effects of ultra-high dose rate (FLASH) radiation compared to conventional radiation within a Spread-out Bragg Peak (SOBP) in a murine model. Using female CDF1 mice, the study assessed acute and late radiation-induced damage, with doses ranging from 19.9-49.7 Gy for conventional and 30.4-65.9 Gy for FLASH. Results showed that FLASH radiation provided significant normal tissue protection, with a mean protection ratio of 1.40 for acute skin toxicity and 1.18 for fibrotic development. The findings confirm that FLASH radiation within the SOBP maintains its tissue-sparing benefits, offering a 40% reduction in acute skin damage and an 18% reduction in fibrotic development compared to conventional radiation.
