Summary
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. 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. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy)
may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well radiation therapy or combination
chemotherapy work in treating young patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
