摘要
Jehovah's Witnesses are well-known in the medical community for their inability to accept blood products. Novel methods of treatment are often needed to avoid anemia and hematologic toxicity as inability to receive blood products may increase the risk of treatment related complications. We provide an overview of radiation treatment for Jehovah's Witness patients with an emphasis on bone marrow sparing strategies with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to minimize hematologic toxicity.
