Abstract

Our pilot study suggests that the combination of fractionated TLI and CY is well tolerated by pancytopenic patients and permits rapid marrow engraftment. Whether TLI reduces the incidence and/or the severity of GVHD in bone marrow transplantation in man cannot be determined on the basis of the limited experience described here. Nevertheless, the results have produced sufficient enthusiasm for further clinical trials in nonmalignant hematologic disorders.
