Molecular Risk Assessment in Planning Treatment for Patients With Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Completed
RATIONALE: Analyzing genes that are present in cancer cells may be useful as a method for predicting the response of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma to cancer treatment. Imaging procedures such as positron emission tomography (PET) scans may improve the ability to measure how well cancer has responded to treatment. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying molecular risk assessment to see how well it works in predicting response to therapy in patients who are receiving treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphom...

Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation in Treating Patients With Hematologic Cancer or Nonmalignant Hematologic Disease
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Umbilical cord blood transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy or radiation therapy that was used to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of umbilical cord blood transplantation plus combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have hematologic cancer or nonmalignant hematologic disease.

Chemotherapy in Treating Women With Breast Cancer That Can Be Surgically Removed
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known if chemotherapy given before surgery is more effective with or without docetaxel given before or after surgery for breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy using doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide with or without docetaxel in treating women who have stage II or stage III breast cancer.
