Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Chemoprotective drugs such as amifostine may protect normal cells
from the side effects of chemotherapy.

high-dose chemotherapy in treating patients with hematologic cancer or solid tumors.
