“…There have been reports that radiotherapy can decrease nonspecific immune system responses and that these responses may remain suppressed for several months following radiation (22,23). However, these studies involved radiation of multiple lymph node chains.…”

“…Furthermore, it has recently been shown that vaccines can have a synergistic antitumor benefit with local tumor radiotherapy in a preclinical model (21). On the other hand, there are reports of decreases in nonspecific measures of the immune system following radiation therapy (22,23).…”

“…En aquellos casos en los que la citopenia se deba a la degradación celular esplénica, la disminución del tamaño del bazo mejorará dicha citopenia. Sin embargo, en aquellos en los que el origen de la esplenomegalia sea la hematopoyesis extramedular por insuficiencia de la médula ósea, la irradiación esplénica puede incluso agravarla (4,10).…”

“…En general, la trombocitopenia no es una contraindicación para la irradiación y los motivos para suspenderla vienen condicionados por el riesgo de sepsis o de hemorragia y por el estado funcional del paciente. Las complicaciones hematológicas fatales y la sepsis suelen ser las principales causas de muerte en los pacientes irradiados, con cifras cercanas al 13% (3,6,(8)(9)(10).…”

“…Similar effect was confirmed in invivo that LTBI is a very attractive adjuvant strategy to enhance overall cancer immunotherapy or vaccine responses (Liu et al2010). Other possible mechanisms of immune enhancement are elimination of suppressor cells as Treg and myeloid suppressor cells and augmentation of the immune response including natural killer (NK) cells, B cells and T cells activation, costimulatory molecules upregulation, IFNg and IL-2 production and release, and enhanced proliferative activity of lymphocytes to mitogenic stimuli ( Belka et al, 1999;Hashimoto et al, 1999;Safwat 2000a;2000b;Liu et al, 2001;Kipnis et al, 2004;Jin et al, 2007;Shan et al, 2007) Although the effects of radiation on the survival of lymphocytes have been extensively studied in vitro, a correlation of the frequency of radiation-induced apoptosis in human peripheral blood lymphocytes during TLI have not previously been performed. In 2008 we published the clinical results of a protocol using TLI plus immunosuppressive agents to prevent recurrence after renal transplant in patients with focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) (Villar et al, 2008).…”
