Combination Chemotherapy Followed by Bone Marrow Transplantation in Treating Patients With Advanced Hematologic Cancer

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Graft Versus Host Disease, Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndromes, Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

In brief

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.
