Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the OS, RFS, and TRM after HCT with low-dose total body irradiation, fludarabine, and busulfan conditioning.
Detailed Description:
Conventional allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for patients with hematological malignancies involves conditioning with high doses of systemic chemo/radiation therapy such as cyclophosphamide (CY) plus 1200 or 1000 cGy total body irradiation (TBI; CY/TBI) or busulfan (Bu) / CY (BuCy). Unfortunately, such regimens have been associated with significant toxicities, limiting their use to otherwise healthy, relatively young patients.
Recently, Fludarabine plus 4 day dose of busulfan (FluBu4) containing myeloablative regimen has been introduced successfully without increasing transplant-related mortality (TRM). To improve transplant outcomes without increasing the risk of recurrence, Russell et al introduced 400cGy of TBI with antithymocyte (ATG, 4.5mg/Kg) into FluBu4 regimen with successful outcomes.
