SUMMARY:SRP webinar: Radiation Protection for FLASH Radiotherapy
DESCRIPTION:Free SRP Webinar: Radiation Protection for FLASH Radiotherapy\n1 May 2025\, 12:00 – 13:00 (BST)\nPresented by Dr Mark Hardy\, Consultant Clinical Scientist (Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust\, Liverpool)\, this webinar will discuss the radiation protection implications and possible solutions required following the resurgence of interest in ultra-high dose rate radiotherapy.  It will give a background into the field and why FLASH is creating a buzz in radiotherapy\, discuss what implications it has for patient\, staff and public safety\, and discuss what the radiation protection community can do to support this potentially ground-breaking new paradigm in radiotherapy.  Dr Mark Hardy is an honorary lecturer in Medical Physics at the University of Liverpool. Mark has 19 years’ experience in radiotherapy physics\, and has worked as an RPA in medicine since 2011.

SUMMARY:Task Group 91 Workshop: Radiation Risk Inference at Low-dose and Low-dose Rate Exposure for Radiological Protection Purposes
DESCRIPTION:ICRP Task Group 91 has prepared a report that describes the Scientific Evidence Relevant to the Assessment of Solid Cancer Radiation Risk at Low Dose and Low Dose Rate. The report is available for public consultation until 13 June 2025. This workshop addresses important points of the report through presentations by Task Group members. Attendees will have an opportunity to participate through a moderated Q&A session.  \nParticipants who attend at least 50% of the workshop will receive a Certificate of Attendance via email within 48 hours of the event. \n\nPublication Abstract\nThe current System of Radiological Protection uses a dose and dose rate effectiveness factor (DDREF) with a numerical value of 2 when applying estimates of radiation risk derived from high doses and dose rates to settings involving low doses and/or low dose rates. The concept combines the low dose effectiveness factor (LDEF) when interpolating estimates of risk across dose levels\, and the dose rate effectiveness factor (DREF) when extrapolating risk estimates from studies involving populations exposed to high dose rates to those exposed to low dose rates. In this report the current scientific evidence on the biological and health effects at those doses and dose rates is reviewed\, with emphasis on human solid cancer incidence and mortality. Numerical evaluations of both DREF and LDEF are considered from studies of somatic cell mutation\, cell transformation and cytogenetic endpoints. Life-shortening and all solid cancers combined are evaluated from historical studies on experimental animals (mice). A meta-analysis is described where risk estimates deduced from 29 human cohorts exposed to low dose rates were compared with those from the atomic bomb survivors (to address DREF)\, and a reanalysis of the curvature in the mortality data from the Japanese atomic bomb survivors on all solid cancers combined (to address LDEF) is presented. Finally\, mechanistically-based ways to combine biological evidence with epidemiological data are considered. While considerable uncertainties remain\, the ranges of LDEF and DREF values obtained here are narrower than those obtained in previous evaluations\, and are largely consistent amongst the various sources of data reviewed. The overall conclusion of this report is that\, based on current scientific evidence\, an LDEF of much greater than 3 are not supported\, and much less than 1 likewise. Similarly\, it is concluded that a DREF value much larger than 3 or less than 1 is also unlikely. \n  \nPROGRAMME\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n12:00\nUTC\n\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction and History of DDREF\nWerner Rühm (ICRP & BfS\, Germany)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:10\nUTC\n\n\n\n\n\nEvidence from Cellular Studies\nSimon Bouffler (ICRP & UKHSA\, UK)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:20\nUTC\n\n\n\n\n\nEvidence from Experimental Animals\nGayle Woloschak (Northwestern University\, USA)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:30\nUTC\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEvidence from Epidemiology & Dose Rate Meta Analyses\nLinda Walsh (University of Zurich\, Switzerland) & Roy Shore (New York University School of Medicine\, USA)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:40\nUTC\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEvidence from Epidemiology & Dose Curvature Analyses\nMark Little (National Institutes of Health\, USA)  & Kotaro Ozasa (Kyoto Prefecture University of Medicine\, Japan)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:50\nUTC\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEvidence from Mechanistic Modelling\nMichiaki Kai (Nippon Bunri University\, Japan) & Werner Rühm (ICRP & BfS\, Germany)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13:00\nUTC\n\n\n\n\n\nConclusions of the Report\nWerner Rühm (ICRP & BfS\, Germany)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13:10\nUTC\n\n\n\n\n\nQ&A
