    Proton Therapy | May 16, 2022

    John C. Breneman, M.D., medical director of the Cincinnati Children's/UC Health Proton Therapy Center, and the principal investigator of the FAST-01 trial, explains FLASH therapy and details on the trial. This study is testing the use of a single FLASH proton therapy session, rather than weeks of fractionated doses.

    FLASH and hypo fractionated therapy have been among the hottest topics in radiation oncology. The premise of FLASH is to deliver extremely high doses of radiation to a tumor in one, short dose. Lab testing has shown this actually has a healthy tissue sparing capability and may help in reducing collateral damage.  

    If this and other trials show benefit and improved outcomes from FLASH, it is possible this may become the primary treatment method for many cancers in the years to come. Reducing therapy to one treatment session also would open up much more time for proton centers so many more patients could be treated. It also would be a significant time and cost savings for patients and their families, who would not be required to stay at nearby hotels for extended stays during their course of treatment.  

    Cincinnati Children's/UC Health Proton Therapy Center announced the completion of enrollment in FAST-01 (FeAsibility Study of FLASH Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Symptomatic Bone Metastases) in October. This is the first human clinical trial of FLASH therapy, which centered on patients with metastases in arms and legs to avoid irradiating critical structures. If this trials shows benefits and low toxicity, followup studies will attempt more complex treatments in other parts of the body.

    Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) | May 13, 2022

    Arun Nagdev, M.D., director of emergency ultrasound at the Alameda Health System, clinical associate professor, University of California San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine, and incoming president for the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) ultrasound section, explains the rise in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nagdev has used cart-based and several hand-held systems to the emergency department to triage patients, help sort out COVID and non-COVID patients and identify patients that need more detailed radiology imaging or with issues that need immediate attention, such as pulmonary embolism, heart attacks and aortic aneurisms. 

    Nagdev also serves as senior director of clinical education for start-up POCUS company Exo, which is developing a new chip-based, handheld ultrasound system with a high definition transducer.
