NCT00255723
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Giving combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy with an autologous stem cell transplant, using peripheral stem cells or bone marrow from the patient, may allow more chemotherapy to be given so that more cancer cells are killed. Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy before an autologous stem cell transplant may be an effective treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy work in treating patients who are undergoing an autologous stem cell transplant for relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma.
NCT00387959
RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, total-body irradiation, and rituximab before a donor umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy together with rituximab and an umbilical cord blood transplant works in treating patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
