High-Dose Chemotherapy With or Without Total-Body Irradiation Followed by Autologous Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Hematologic Cancer or Solid Tumors

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Estimate the progression free survival (PFS) distribution for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and multiple myeloma (MM) for each disease-specific high dose therapy regimen. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Estimate the PFS distribution for amyloidosis, acute leukemia and selected solid tumors for each disease-specific high dose therapy regimen. II. Explore the role of risk factors in the outcome of all treated patients. III. Examine the high dose therapy regimen-related toxicity (RRT) and overall survival after bone marrow transplant (BMT). OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to conditioning regimens based on disease, age, and co-morbidities.
