These efforts help Varian safely advance potential therapy options towards our vision of a world without fear of cancer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Breneman noted that, because this is the first in human trial of FLASH radiotherapy, it will build a foundation for extending this therapy to other types of cancer treatments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trials using FLASH radiotherapy for lung cancer and other malignancies are currently being developed,&#8221; said Breneman, a UC Health radiation oncologist and a professor emeritus at the <span class=\"xn-org\">University of Cincinnati<\/span> College of Medicine. &#8220;Using FLASH treatment for these cancers could deliver higher cancer-killing doses without causing inordinate side effects, which would be a real advance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;FLASH therapy has the potential to be practice changing and dramatically improve the experience of cancer care for a new generation of patients. The launch of the first FLASH clinical trial, a project that has come to fruition after years of intensive study, is an important milestone in the progress of radiation therapy,&#8221; said FlashForward Consortium member Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Charles B. Simone, II<\/span>, FACRO, Chief Medical Officer at New York Proton Center. &#8220;We are optimistic that the results of the FAST clinical development program will transform the way the industry approaches treatment. The New York Proton Center is proud to be a partner in this future-focused study.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <span class=\"xn-person\">John Perentesis<\/span>, MD, Director of the Division of Oncology &amp; Cancer Programs at Cincinnati Children&#8217;s, said FLASH is potentially a transformational advance for cancer treatment for many patients.&#8221;If the side effects of radiation on the normal tissues surrounding a tumor can be significantly reduced, the dose of radiation to treat a cancer can be greatly increased,&#8221; Perentesis said.\u00a0&#8220;This would raise hope to cure malignancies that respond to radiation but aren&#8217;t completely cured at current doses, including pediatric brain tumors like DIPG\/pontine glioma and medulloblastoma, sarcomas, and neuroblastoma.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About Varian<br \/><\/b>At Varian, we envision a world without fear of cancer.
