Musculoskeletal complications following total body irradiation in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients

Abstract: Total body irradiation (TBI) is commonly used in conditioning regimens for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to treat benign and malignant disease. Though life-saving, these therapies place patients at risk for important side effects, including musculoskeletal complications such as short stature, osteonecrosis, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, and the development of benign and malignant bone tumors. With an increasing number of HSCT survivors, there is a growing need for awareness of … Show more

“…Avascular necrosis or osteonecrosis (ON) is the most common and debilitating sequelae of conditioning regimens (following total body irradiation) for allogeneic HSC transplantation which appears in 4-19% of HSCT survivors [16]. Long, continuous exposure to corticosteroids during delayed intensification chemotherapy plays a pivotal role in the development of ON [17].…”

“…Growth disturbances such as decreased size of the bone irradiated, growth arrest lines, retardation of growth, angular deformities, premature physeal fusion, undertubulation, widening of the physis and joint space, metaphyseal changes mimicking rickets, slipped epiphysis, osteochondromas, and scoliosis may be seen. 17 Some of these changes may occur months after radiotherapy. Growth potential in the epiphysis is already fatally compromised at a dose of 12 Gy.…”

“…Long-term issues, such as cognitive dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, immune disruption, tissue remodeling, metabolic disorders and second malignant tumors, continue to haunt cancer survivors long after treatment has discontinued, [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] especially those treated at a younger age. [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57] Unfortunately, with the majority of radiation-induced late outcomes, once such effects become symptomatic, mitigation and/or treatment strategies have proven to have limited efficacy. As a result, radiation oncologists have continued to explore treatment options, e.g.…”
