Summary

This study tests a precise type of radiation (total marrow irradiation) given with standard chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant in people with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The goal is to see if this combination helps more patients stay free of their cancer for at least one year. About 38 adults aged 18-65 with hard-to-treat or poor-risk disease are being enrolled.
