Conclusions: Chloroma

Bakst R et al Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2012

• RT resulted in excellent local disease control and palliation of

symptoms without significant toxicity

• RT might have a role in cases of: isolated chloroma,

inadequate response to chemotherapy, recurrence after

allogeneic transplant, and in circumstances that require rapid

symptom relief

• We recommend irradiating chloromas to at least 20 Gy, and

propose 24 Gy in 12 fractions as an appropriate regimen
