Brief

This is a phase II clinical trial using risk-adapted, multi-modality therapy. The goals of this study are to 1) Increase the proportion of patients that will be in complete remission at the end of 8 weeks of chemotherapy and therefore will not require radiation therapy; 2) maintain treatment outcomes by using a combined-modality approach with an abbreviated dose-intensive chemotherapy regimen with limited-volume, conformal radiotherapy for patients that are not in CR at the end of chemotherapy; and 3) reduce acute and long-term treatment sequelae by a) minimizing the cumulative doses of anthracyclines, bleomycin, and alkylating agents, b) increasing the number of complete responders, thus decreasing the number of patients requiring radiation, and c) tailoring the volume of radiation to initially involved nodal sites.
