“…Median survival after irradiation was 22 months. A subsequent study administered a median of 980 cGy with a response rate of 59% and a median duration of response of 10 months (Bouabdallah et al, 2000). Furthermore, a case report suggested that low-dose intermittent radiation, e.g.100 cGy, every 1-3 months, might be a reasonable approach to control post-splenectomy, hepatomegaly symptoms (Riesterer et al, 2008).…”

“…In the largest published series, which included 22 patients, the median dose administered per course was 2AE8 Gy (Elliott et al, 1998). In some studies favourable results have been reported for this treatment modality in terms of reduction of splenic size and relief of symptoms, with acceptable side effects (Wagner et al, 1986;Bouabdallah et al, 2000). Splenic irradiation seems to be especially useful in the palliation of severe pain secondary to spleen infarct.…”

“…Splenic irradiation seems to be especially useful in the palliation of severe pain secondary to spleen infarct. However, the therapeutic effect is not durable, since its median duration is about 6 months (Elliott et al, 1998;Bouabdallah et al, 2000). In addition, the procedure involves a substantial risk of severe and long-lasting cytopenias, probably related to an effect on the circulating haemopoietic progenitors (Koeffler et al, 1979).…”

“…La respuesta a la RT se evalúa no sólo por la disminución del tamaño del bazo, sino también por el alivio clínico del dolor y la disminución de los requerimientos transfusionales (8). La Tabla II recoge la experiencia publicada en series con más de 10 pacientes.…”

“…Respecto a la clínica dolorosa, la mejoría se consigue en el 62-100% de los SMCs y en el 60-75% de las LLCs, con una duración media de 7 meses (3,4,6). En los pacientes con mielofibrosis se ha objetivado hasta un 50% de descenso en las necesidades transfusionales (8).…”
