Resumen

Prostate cancer is one of the most diagnosed cancers in men. While it can be successfully treated with radiotherapy (RT), patients often leave treatment with previously healthy organs affected by radiation. This work assessed a novel ultra-high dose rate FLASH proton therapy technique for the treatment of prostate cancers. We were able to generate clinically viable Bragg peak FLASH treatment plans for prostate cancer patients previously treated with conventional proton RT. Feasible prostate treatment quality was observed with all constraints for organs at risk (OARs) being met while maintaining an ultra-high dose rate.
