Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy 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.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving combination
chemotherapy together with radiation therapy works in treating young patients with Hodgkin's
lymphoma.
