Total body irradiation before bone marrow transplantation: a review. 1982

A Barrett

An increasing number of centres are undertaking BMT and many different techniques are being evolved for TBI. The critical factors to be considered are total dose and dose rate. Conventional single treatments of 1000 cGy (rad) at low dose rates are effective and safe, but alternative fractionated regimes being explored. As few groups treat enough patients to be able to conduct a randomised study, careful and standardised recording of technique and doses given will be important in determining optimum ways of delivering TBI.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007223	Infant	A child between 1 and 23 months of age.	Infants
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.
