Precision radiation may make stem cell transplants safer for leukemia patients
NCT ID NCT04262843
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new way to deliver radiation before a stem cell transplant for people with leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. Instead of radiating the whole body, the new method 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 helps patients live longer without their cancer returning.
