Until now Total Body Irradiation (TBI)<\/a> for bone marrow transplant was done only in limited centres in India and abroad. But not anymore.<\/p>\n

For the first time in Nepal, Dr. Abish Adhikari, Radiation Oncologist at Kathmandu Cancer Centre successfully performed a bone marrow transplant using TBI<\/strong>. A person suffering from\u00a0Aplastic Anemia was given the transplant by using radiotherapy by irradiating the whole body.<\/p>\n

Radiotherapy is a treatment that uses high energy rays, similar to X-rays, to kill cancer cells. For some types of leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma, radiotherapy is done to the whole body (Total Body Irradiation) alongside high dose chemotherapy treatment.<\/p>\n

Total body irradiation (TBI) alongside high dose chemotherapy helps to kill off leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma cells in the bone marrow. According to CancerResearchUK.org<\/a>, TBI treatments are done twice a day for 3 or 4 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
