FLASH radiotherapy

When irradiation happens extremely fast (more than 40Gy/s) human cells suffer relatively minor damage, while cancer cells suffer the full damage.

This is potentially revolutionary and the mechanism isn't very clear right now, probably due to contrast in oxygen level in healthy/cancerous cells.

So wtf can we just shoot ultra high dose rate pulses at everyone annually and improve public health massively or something?
