Abstrakt: The purpose of this review is to generalize the information available on the topic of the flash proton beam therapy method. Currently, research in this area is one of the flagships in the development of a proton therapy method for both medical centers and commercial companies that develop equipment and technologies for proton therapy. The published data on pioneering studies of proton irradiation by the flash method allow us to consider this method very promising for its development and use in medicine. At the same time, in this case, a large commercial component of this issue arises, since the promotion and development of the latest proton therapy technologies is one of the important components of competition in this market. In this regard, there is not that much open information about technological and methodological developments in this area. The authors of the review have tried to collect and combine the available information about the flash method of proton beam therapy to form an understanding of its features and advantages.
