Total Body Irradiation: Guidelines from the International Lymphoma Radiation Oncology Group (ILROG)

Jeffrey Y C Wong et al. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. .

Abstract

Total body irradiation (TBI) remains an effective myeloablative treatment in regimens used for preparation and conditioning before allogeneic stem cell transplantation for leukemia. The regimens used vary across institutions in terms of dose, dose rate, fractionation, and technique. The objective of this document is to provide comprehensive guidelines for the current practice of delivering total body irradiation.
