; ; ;
Adults with acute leukemia and malignant lymphoma in relapse after conventional therapy are treated with cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation (TBI) followed by autologous bone marrow transplants. Phantom dosimetry and dosimetry on patients treated reveals that doses are delivered within 5% accuracy. Patient tolerance of treatment, and some biological considerations of low dose rate therapy are reviewed. Certain dosimetry features of an alternate treatment at 370 cm SAD, using 25 MV photons are also presented.
