Total Marrow Irradiation

Abstract

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is the only available option for potential cure of high-risk hematological malignancies. Only about half of the candidates for HCT would have a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling donor (MSD) or an HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD) available for transplant. Haploidentical donors (HAPLO) have been used for transplantation with safe and comparable outcome to matched donor HCT. Haploidentical HCT (HaploHCT) has extended availability of transplant to patients with lower chances of finding matched donor including minorities. Further optimization is needed to improve upon potential risks of relapse. In this chapter, we review the use of total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) in the setting of HaploHCT.
