Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing
so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with bone marrow transplantation may
allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of busulfan and melphalan followed by
donor bone marrow transplantation in treating patients who have advanced hematologic cancer.
