total body irradiation

He became interested in total body irradiation which led to early work on chemotherapy.

This is performed using high-intensity chemotherapy and total body irradiation.

In modern practice, total body irradiation is typically fractionated.

In allogeneic transplants a combination of cyclophosphamide with total body irradiation is conventionally employed.

Lymphodepletion was made by total body irradiation prior to transfer of the expanded TIL.

House orders the team to start Sarah on methotrexate for the ITP and also wants to give her total body irradiation.

Additionally, high doses of total body irradiation can eradicate residual cancer cells in the transplant recipient, increasing the likelihood that the transplant will be successful.

In addition to its use in bone marrow transplantation, total body irradiation has been explored as a treatment modality for high-risk Ewing sarcoma.

However, at these doses, total body irradiation both destroys the patient's bone marrow (allowing donor marrow to engraft) and kills residual cancer cells.

He went to Memorial Sloan-Kettering and underwent chemotherapy, total body irradiation, and an autologous stem cell transplant.

Total body irradiation (TBI) is a radiation therapy technique used to prepare the body to receive a bone marrow transplant.

Another approach involves using very high doses of chemotherapy, sometimes combined with total body irradiation (TBI), in an attempt to destroy all evidence of the disease.

The treatment of some leukaemias and lymphomas requires the use of high-dose chemotherapy, and total body irradiation (TBI).

Schwella N, König V, Schwerdtfeger R, et al.: Ondansetron for efficient emesis control during total body irradiation.

Radiation therapy (or radiotherapy) is used on painful bony areas, in high disease burdens, or as part of the preparations for a bone marrow transplant (total body irradiation).

Following total body irradiation of mice, both δ- and γ-tocotrienol regenerated blood-borne cells by increasing the total white blood cell count; only δ-tocotrienol regenerated lymphocytes.

Total body irradiation (TBI) is a form of radiotherapy used primarily as part of the preparative regimen for haematopoietic stem cell (or bone marrow) transplantation.

Since the A.E.C. controlled the supply of radioactive materials, Dr. Warren was apparently able to block some of the worst experiments, which called for total body irradiation of healthy subjects.

Wingard JR, Plotnick LP, Freemer CS, et al.: Growth in children after bone marrow transplantation: busulfan plus cyclophosphamide versus cyclophosphamide plus total body irradiation.

Total body irradiation in the setting of bone marrow transplantation serves to destroy or suppress the recipient's immune system, preventing immunologic rejection of transplanted donor bone marrow or blood stem cells.

Clift RA, Buckner CD, Thomas ED, et al.: Marrow transplantation for chronic myeloid leukemia: a randomized study comparing cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation with busulfan and cyclophosphamide.

Non-myeloablative bone marrow transplantation uses lower doses of total body irradiation, typically about 2 Gy, which do not destroy the host bone marrow but do suppress the host immune system sufficiently to promote donor engraftment.
