To the side effects. protons being particles slow down as they enter the tissue, and they stop within the tumour and do not go any further. and that means that this form of radiotherapy can be used in really tricky parts of the body. for example, something like the brainstem, which we know is very sensitive to radiation. so, it is very much putting the beam precisely into the tumour and not going into the sensitive organ. all types of cancer treatments risk harming healthy tissue near to the tumour and research is ongoing around the world to try and minimise this collateral damage. there has b...

Could be game changing because you could forget everything about damaging surrounding tissues, etc, and it is as if the particles would know "this is a healthy cell, this is a cancer cell." do we have any idea why it happens? we don't know the mechanisms. we don't fully understand how flash works. i find it fascinating because it does not talk to my physics brain. so, i am curious to see whether it will bring something or not. now, we have got recent results, not published yet, that seems to indicate that we do spare the normal tissue and we might do even more damage to the tumour, so it might...

So, it is very much putting the beam precisely into the tumour and not going into the sensitive organ. all kinds of cancer treatments risk harming healthy tissue near the tumour and research is ongoing around the world to try and minimise this collateral damage. there has been at least one recent, ratherstrange, finding. it is to do with how quickly and how hard you deliver the dose of radiation, and it is called the flash effect. so, you deliver the radiation in a very intense burst to the tumour instead of on several seconds, for example. you condense it in milliseconds. for a physicist, thi...
