Résumé

Modern accelerators have the "flattening filter-free" (FFF) technique to deliver RT with a moderate high-dose rate, currently used in limited clinical indications. No scientifically established data are currently available on the possible effects of this high dose rate on the anti-tumor immune response. We therefore propose here to study these effects in a preclinical CT26 murine colorectal tumor model.
