INTRODUCTION• TBI started using in 1956 by Dr. Donnall
Thomas to treat patients with end stage leukemia
• He was awarded Nobel prize for medicine in 1990
• Rationale for use of TBI not changed
• Tremendous change in Delivery of TBI
Radiation sources used – Co^60 / LINAC
Dose measure techniques- more reliable and accurate rather than erythema dose for determination of dose delivered

INTRODUCTION
• One of main component in interdisciplinary treatment of hematological malignancies-leukemia, lymphoma, rarely solid tumors
• Enables myeloablative high dose therapy (HDT) & immunoablative conditioning therapy prior to stem cell transplantation

TASKS OF TBI• Eradicating diseased marrow
• Reducing tumor burden
• Immunosuppression- lymphocyte elimination to allow grafting of donor bone marrow
• Deplete the BM to allow physical space for engraftment of healthy donor marrow
• Eradication of cells with genetic disorders-Fanconi’s anemia, thalassemia major, Wiskott- Aldrich syndrome

DISADVANTAGES
• Potential late side effects
Sterility
Cataract
Growth retardation
Neurological toxicity
• Patient body contour irregularities causes adding of compensators
![Page 11: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
PRE- REQUISITES FOR TBI
• Medical history and evaluation
• Interdisciplinary approach from doctors and health professionals
• RT & BM transplantation facility must be in same center
• Conditions with a low risk of infections is recommended
![Page 12: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
• Evaluation of oral cavity and dentition
• Neurological evaluation
• PS
• Organ function analysis
CCT> 60 ml/min
AST / ALT < twice the upper level of normal
PFT
EF> 40%
• Infectious disease evaluation
• Sperm banking

TECHNIQUES OF TBI
• Patient comfort and Reproducibility
• Position of patient and stability
• The common factor in the different techniques of TBI is to deliver the prescribed dose of radiation to the entire body in uniformity of +/-10% of the prescription dose. +/-5% considered as the best.
IMPORTANT CRITERIAS
![Page 14: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

BILATERAL TBI
![Page 16: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
BILATERAL TBI
• Designed by Khan et al
• Patient sitting or lying down on a couch
Good Patient comfort
Less homogeneous dose distribution due to variable body thickness, needs compensating blocks.
![Page 17: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
AP-PA TBI
![Page 18: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
AP-PA TBI
• Irradiated anteroposteriorly by parallel opposed fields while positioned upright several meters from the source
• More homogeneous dose distribution
• The principle of the technique is that the standing TBI allows shielding of certain critical organs from photons and boosting of superficial tissues in the shadow of the blocks with electrons
![Page 19: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

TARGET VOLUME
• All malignant cells including those circulating
• whole cellular immune system
• The Whole Body, including Skin
![Page 28: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
DOSE PRESCRIPTION
• High Dose TBI – 13.2 Gy in 6 fractions over 3 days
• Standard dose TBI – 12 Gy in 6 fractions over 3 days

![Page 29: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
DOSE REFERENCE POINTS
• The dose reference point is defined
at mid abdomen at the height of the umbilicus
according to an international consensus
![Page 30: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
TREATMENT DELIVERY
• Delivered in the position which measurements are taken
• Under sterile conditions
![Page 31: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
OPTIMIZATION OF DOSE
• The homogeneity of dose in the target volume
• The effective sparing the lungs
![Page 32: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
DOSE VERIFICATION
• In vivo dosimetry is done with Semiconductor diodes, mosfet, LiF TLD chips
• It is placed for skull, H&N , mediastinal regions
![Page 33: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
1. COMPENSATORS
• Influences of irregular body contours have
to be compensated.
• Tissue compensators are used in
Head and neck region
Lower extremities and
Lungs (Not required usually as effective thickness at
mid mediastinum is greater than at umbilicals. Arms positioned inline with lungs and increase total thickness)
![Page 34: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

2. BEAM SPOILER
Skin/ surface doses in Megavoltage beams is less than D max
Beam spoiler has to be positioned close to the patient, For build-up the surface dose up to at least 90% of the prescribed dose
1-2 cm thick acrylic is sufficient to meet these requirements
.

3. DOSE HOMOGENIZATION in parts of the target volume with reduced dose :
• Thoracic wall receives a lower dose due to lung shielding.
• Additional irradiation however is not used
• Electron boost can be given if necessary
![Page 37: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
ACUTE COMPLICATIONS
• Nausea& Vomiting• Headache• Fatigue• Ocular dryness• Esophagitis• Loss of apetite• Erythema/hyperpigmentation• Mucositis• Diarrhea• Fever

CHRONIC COMPLICATIONS
• Ocular – Cataract, dryness, keratitis
• Salivary glands – Xerostomia, dental caries, tooth abnormalities
• Pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis
• Hepatotoxicity
• Radiation nephropathy
• Growth abnomalities in children
• Sterility and endocrine abnormalities
• Secondary mets

Targeted TBI – TMI and TMLI
• Total marrow irradiation - skeletal bone. Conditioning regimen for multiple myeloma
• Total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) - bone, major lymph node chains, liver, spleen, and sanctuary sites, such as brain. Conditioning regimen for myeloid and lymphoid leukemia
![Page 40: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
TOMOTHERAPY
• Desirable to deliver radiation only to immune organs and bone marrow spaces sparing sensitive structures like brain, lens, lungs, kidneys
• IMRT planning could accomplish this, but most systems are limited by field size issues
• Accurate IMRT depends on reproducible patient position, which is complicated when considering treating the entire marrow spaces
![Page 41: Total body irradiation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eff9b81a28abc0188b467d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
TOMOTHERAPY
• Tomotherapy - linear accelerator mounted in head of a spiral CT unit
• IMRT delivered as beams spiral down axis of patient supine on treatment couch
• The beams can be planned to deliver dose to bones and bone marrow, liver and spleen as well as major nodal groups and to relatively spare the lungs and kidneys
