Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin sulfate,
vinblastine, dacarbazine, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, procarbazine hydrochloride,
vincristine sulfate, and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer
cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses
high-energy x rays to kill cancer cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with
radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells. Comparing results of imaging procedures, such
as PET scans and CT scans, done before, during, and after chemotherapy may help doctors
predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.
PURPOSE: This phase II clinical trial studies how well chemotherapy based on PET/CT scan
works in treating patients with stage I or stage II Hodgkin lymphoma.
