FRPT (Flash Radiotherapy and Particle Therapy) 2026

The FRPT (Flash Radiotherapy and Particle Therapy) 2026 is dedicated to the latest radiation therapies for oncology treatment.

Key Topics

• Mechanisms
  • Physico-Chemistry: FLASH chemistry, oxygen contribution, ROS
  • Physics: modelling the FLASH effect, Geant 4 DNA, other code
  • In vitro and in vivo studies
  • Biology: molecular level, DNA damage, oxidative stress, inflammation; cellular level; tissue level
  • Flash and drug / immune radiation combinations
• Radiation Modalities
  • Measurement of FLASH doses and dose rate for QA and real time measurement: ionisation chambers, film, solid state detectors, scintillators
  • Radiation modalities: parameters for FLASH; Which conditions (radiation type, dose rate, dose per pulse, total irradiation time, biological end point) are optimal; Measurement of FLASH doses and dose rate for QA and real time measurement (how to guarantee the dose and prevent errors)
  • Spatially fractionated radiotherapy, mini beams etc
  • How: electrons, photons, protons; heavy ions: equipment involved, how beam is delivered, experimental end stations and set up
  • New horizons Laser driven, VHEE
• Flash in the Clinic
  • TPS development for FLASH
  • QA and dosimetry
  • Clinical trial design and methodology, regulations
  • Treatment regimen, fractionation, volume, combination
  • Clinical trial: FLASH-IORT and superficial tumours; FLASH - proton; synchrotron trial; innovative trials
  • Patient selection (how many patients might benefit from FLASH?), FLASH clinical workflow, health economics
