Frida meeting at CREF 2-3 December 2024

FLASH Radiotherapy, especially with charged particles, has emerged as a promising new approach in radiation therapy, offering the potential to reduce side effects while maintaining tumor control. However, significant research is still needed to translate this concept into clinical practice. The FRIDA Project (Flash Radiotherapy with hIgh Dose-rate particle beAms) is a pioneering initiative aimed […]

Radio e Adroterapia

la ricerca Responsabile della linea di ricerca Michela Marafini Contenuto scientifico e obiettivi La radio terapia convenzionale, ad oggi capillarmente diffusa, potrebbe cambiare in modo sostanziale: è stato dimostrato che la somministrazione di una determinata dose in un lasso di tempo molto ristretto aumenta l’efficacia del trattamento, riducendo il danno ai tessuti sani e limitando […]
