Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are used as conditioning regimens prior to BMT to suppress host immunity and reduce tumor burden. High doses of total body irradiation are conventionally administered along with alkylating agents, ie, the myeloablative regimen, to help ensure rapid engraftment of donor cells and to prevent relapse. However, the toxicity of the myeloablative conditioning regimen and unacceptable nonrelapse mortality rules out this approach for older patients by whom less intense preparative regimens are likely to be better tolerated. The reduced-intensity and nonmyeloablative conditioning regimens have been demonstrated by many investigators to be novel approaches resulting in a lower nonrelapse mortality rate and lower incidence of severe acute graft versus host disease.
