Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing
so they stop growing or die. Alternating treatment with more than one drug may kill more
cancer cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of fludarabine alternating with
cyclophosphamide in treating patients who have previously untreated chronic lymphocytic
leukemia.
