Successful pregnancy after conditioning with cyclophosphamide and fractionated total body irradiation

Louis Letendre, S. Breanndan Moore

Abstract

We report the case of a 24-year-old man who received high-dose cyclophosphamide (CY) 120 mg/kg over 2 days and twice daily fractionated total body irradiation (TBI) over 3 days(1,320 cGy) prior to allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Seven and one-half years later he fathered a normal child who has developed normally so far.
