Overview

The purposes of this study are to: (1) find the most effective dose of a new type of radiation therapy called total marrow irradiation (TMI) that will be given with the conditioning chemotherapy, fludarabine, to prepare patients for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT); and (2) see if utilization of TMI in place of total body irradiation (TBI) will reduce side effects by giving less radiation to organs at risk.

Description

The purpose of this study is to find the most effective dose of a new type of radiation therapy called total marrow irradiation (TMI) that is given with a type of chemotherapy called fludarabine to prepare patients for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT).
