Summary: Tissue Air Ratio (TAR), a basic dosimetric function, is not
ideally applicable to all important locations in total body
irradiation(TBI) dosimetry because it refers to central ray
measurements. We therefore introduced the local TAR which
depends on the specific distribution of the scatter centers
around the location of interest.Measurements were performed
in an anatomic water phantom (made by sculptor) and showed
lower values from the standard TARs by a few percent.

Volume: 9
Year: 1992
Pages: from 343 to 347
Language: engleski
Summary: Patients with leukaemia (n=64) undergoing BM
transplantation
were randomized to receive cyclophosphamide (CY) and 60 - Co
fractionated (3 fractions) TBI(12 Gy) without lung shielding
(n=33, 13.9 Gy) or CY and fraction. TBI with lung shielding
(n=31, control g., 10 Gy). Dose rate was 3.6 cGy/min. There
was no significant difference in the 3 - year leukaemia free
survival (54% vers. 51%) and probability of relapse (22% ver
24%), while interstitial pneumonitis appeared as 15% versus
5% (n=5).

Summary: From January 1984 122 patienta with de-novo AML who
achieved first complete remission were included into a prospective study
comparing allogeneic BMT with chemotherapy. Four year probability of
leukaemia-free survival for patients receiving marrow graft was 68+-14%
while for patients on the chemotherapy were 28+-24% (AML-88) and 21+-18%
(AML-83) (p<.01). The probability of leukaemia relapse was significantly
higher in the chemotherapy groups than in transplant group (84+-14% for
AML-83 and 61+-38% for AML-88 vs 21+-15% for BMT, p<.01).
