Summary
This phase III trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy together with
radiation therapy works in treating young patients with newly diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma.
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.
