Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor
cells. Bone marrow transplantation can replace immune cells that were destroyed by
chemotherapy.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy compared with
or without bone marrow transplantation in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic
leukemia.
