Combination Chemotherapy Followed by Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Children With Recurrent or Refractory Hodgkin`s or Non-Hodgkin`s Lymphoma

Study:

A Pilot Study of Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation (PBSCT) After Preparative Therapy Consisting of Cyclophosphamide, BCNU, and Etoposide (CBV) for Recurrent and Primarily Refractory Hodgkin`s and Non-Hodgkin`s Lymphoma

Rationale:

Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow doctors to give higher doses of chemotherapy and kill more cancer cells.

Purpose:

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating children who have recurrent or refractory Hodgkin`s lymphoma or non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma.
