Abstract

The role of radiation in the treatment of leukemia is becoming a crucial part of managing these patients. This is mainly the result of the improvement in the survival of patients affected by leukemia. Living longer made it possible for a local control offered by radiation to refind its way to the daily management of this disease. We will discuss three of the most common scenarios where radiation is helpful in patients affected with leukemia.
