A comprehensive literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and relevant trial registries from their inception to August 2024. The inclusion criteria encompassed all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies that compared TBI with CHT as conditioning regimens prior to HSCT in adult patients with ALL.

The relative risk (RR) for OS was 1.37 (95% CI: 1.20-1.57), while the RR for EFS was 1.28 (95% CI: 1.15-1.43), highlighting the superior efficacy of TBI-based regimens in this patient population.
