  • High age-adjusted International Prognostic Index category AND meets the following criteria at diagnosis:
  • Stage III or IV disease
  • Lactic dehydrogenase abnormal
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score 0-2
  • Mantle cell histology
  • Primary refractory disease
  • Beyond first CR
  • Low-grade NHL
  • Beyond second relapse
  • Hodgkin's lymphoma
  • Primary refractory disease OR beyond first CR
  • Must have an adequate number of stored autologous peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) (i.e., 2.0 x 10\^6 hematopoietic progenitor cell antigen (CD34)-positive cells/kg)
  • Patients who are not able to mobilize a sufficient number of PBSCs may use bone marrow instead
  • No active CNS disease NOTE: A new classification scheme for adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been adopted by PDQ.
