International Journal of Radiation Oncology • Biology • Physics (IJROBP), known in the field as the Red Journal, offers authoritative articles linking new research and technologies to clinical applications. Original contributions by leading scientists and researchers include but are not limited to experimental studies of combined modality treatment, tumor sensitization and normal tissue protection, molecular radiation biology, particle irradiation, brachytherapy, treatment planning, tumor biology, and clinical investigations of cancer treatment that include radiation therapy. Technical advances related to dosimetry and conformal radiation treatment planning are also included.
For decades, theories have existed to explain patient reports of seeing light flashes during radiation therapy, even with their eyes closed. However, no one has been able to secure evidence of this sensation in humans to ...
