Summary
This study tested a new way to deliver total body irradiation (TBI) using advanced radiation technology (VMAT and IGRT) in 36 adults with blood cancers who needed a bone marrow transplant. The goal was to see if this method could effectively treat the cancer while better protecting the lungs from radiation damage. The approach focused on meeting specific dose targets to the body while keeping the average lung dose low.
