Outcomes

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

* Histologically confirmed aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of 1 of the following subtypes:

* Diffuse large cell lymphoma (includes primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma and T-cell-rich B-cell lymphoma)
* Prior indolent lymphoma (e.g., follicular center cell lymphoma; marginal zone lymphoma, including extranodal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue [MALT] lymphoma; and lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma) with transformation to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma at relapse

* Must be histologically confirmed
* No transformed lymphoma at diagnosis with subsequent indolent histology without transformation at relapse
* Peripheral T-cell lymphoma
* Anaplastic large cell lymphoma
* Small noncleaved Burkitt-like lymphoma
* T-cell or B-cell lineage confirmed by immunohistochemistry
* Clinically or radiologically documented disease meeting either of the following criteria:

* Measurable disease, defined as at least 1 bidimensionally measurable site of disease using clinical exam, CT scan, or MRI

* Lymph nodes must be > 1.5 cm by physical exam or CT scan
* Other non-nodal lesions must be = 1.0 cm by physical exam, CT scan, or MRI
* Bone lesions are not considered measurable
* Evaluable disease, defined as only nonmeasurable disease, including any of the following:

* Marrow infiltration
* Cytology-confirmed ascites or effusions
* Bony involvement
* Enlarged liver or spleen
* Unidimensionally measurable intrathoracic or abdominal masses
* Previously treated with 1, and only 1, chemotherapy regimen including an anthracycline and excluding cisplatin, cytarabine, and gemcitabine
* No uncontrolled CNS involvement by lymphoma

* No CNS disease at time of relapse
* CNS disease diagnosed at initial presentation allowed provided a complete response for CNS disease was achieved and maintained
