A child has undergone a bone marrow transplant using TLI, a method developed at Stanford University.

Is it possible to perform an allogeneic bone marrow transplant in Ukraine without prolonged hospital stays? Previously — no. Now — yes.

For a child with relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma after autologous HSCT, the team of hematologist-oncologists and radiation therapists at Okhmatdyt National Children’s Hospital applied a conditioning regimen using Total Lymphoid Irradiation (TLI).

This technique, developed at Stanford University, has proven effective and low in toxicity while maintaining strong therapeutic outcomes.

TLI-based conditioning prevents prolonged cytopenia, reduces the risk of infectious and toxic complications, and minimizes transfusion dependence.

All of this allows the patient to receive treatment in semi-outpatient conditions, meaning that most of the time, the child can remain at home.

This is a major step forward for patients, their families, and the entire transplant team — making treatment both safer and more effective.
