Favorable outcome after adjuvant involved field radiotherapy post autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with high risk refractory/relapsed lymphoma: a single center experience.

Involved field radiotherapy has been used in the peri-transplant period to minimize the risk of disease recurrence after autologous stem cell transplantation in patients with bulky or residual lymphoma post-salvage chemotherapy. However, the optimal timing of radiotherapy still remains under investigation. We used involved field radiotherapy early post-transplant, in high risk patients, demonstrating high survival rates with extremely low toxicity.
