FLASH Workshop

1-3 July 2025

Heidelberg, Germany

The FLASH Workshop 2025, which will take place at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in July, will bring together medical physicists, biologists, clinicians and scientists to discuss the impact of oxygen in FLASH radiotherapy.

The FLASH effect is influenced by the amount of oxygen present in the medium within the tissue. Increased levels of tissue oxygen have been shown to reduce the protective nature of FLASH in healthy tissue. The underlying mechanism by which oxygen influences the FLASH effect is unknown.

At the FLASH workshop, there will be an open discussion of the ideas regarding how oxygen impacts FLASH radiotherapy. Talks by our invited speakers will be supplemented by talks and posters from our attendees. Therefore, we are really looking forward to receiving your abstract if you want to participate in the workshop.
