First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study tests a new way to deliver radiation before a stem cell transplant for people with leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Instead of radiating the whole body, the new method (TMLI) targets only the bone marrow and lymph nodes, which may reduce damage to healthy organs. The goal is to see if this approach lowers side effects and improves survival after transplant. About 33 adults with high-risk blood cancers are taking part.
