First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding a precise, targeted form of radiation to the usual chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant can kill more cancer cells in the bone marrow and lower the chance of the disease coming back. It involves 27 adults aged 18-75 with acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome who have a partially matched donor. The main goal is to see if this approach improves survival without severe side effects or graft-versus-host disease one year after transplant.
