The New York Proton Center has initiated three FLASH radiation therapy mouse model studies that will examine the use of FLASH RT to improve treatment of lung, pelvic, and abdominal tumors. NYPC researchers are conducting the studies in partnership with oncologists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center, and Mount Sinai Health System.
Irini Yacoub, a radiation oncologist specializing in head-and-neck and central nervous system cancers, will join the New York Proton Center as a physician.
