First seen Jan 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 05, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding a precise, high-dose radiation treatment to the whole bone marrow before a stem cell transplant can help people with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) live longer without their cancer returning. About 38 adults aged 18-65 will receive the radiation plus standard chemotherapy, then a donor stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this approach improves relapse-free survival at one year.
