[National survey of total body irradiation for bone marrow transplantation with special reference to preparation regimen].
The fifth national survey concerning total body irradiation (TBI) was completed in December 1988. This survey clarified the following: One of the most prevalent TBI schedules was 12 Gy/6 fractions/3 days. While 26 of 30 hospitals adopted the regimen with chemotherapy followed by TBI, the remaining 4 hospitals used the preceding TBI preparation regimen. The time to white blood cell count nadir was much influenced by TBI compared to chemotherapy. There was no need to keep patient in bioclean box during TBI using the preceding TBI preparation regimen.
