Total body irradiation in the conditioning regimen for hematological malignancies. 1991

V Vitale, and S Barra, and P Franzone

The role of Total Body Irradiation (TBI) is well defined in the conditioning regimen for BMT, but in pediatric malignancies there are some particular points of discussion, due to the side effects of irradiation. As alternative methods have been described, as Busulfan based regimens, a critical balance between efficacy and toxicities has to be considered in this subset of patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.
