A method used to prime a patient for a stem cell transplant by employing lower doses of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy to damage the leukemia-producing bone marrow prior to administering the transplant cells. The lowered doses of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy permit older patients, or patients who are unable to receive the standard high-dose therapy with an option that may be easier to tolerate.
