Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation
may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy followed by peripheral
stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have myelofibrosis.
