Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing
so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer
cells. Umbilical cord blood transplantation may be able to replace cells destroyed by
chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and
umbilical cord blood transplantation in treating patients who have hematologic cancer.
