Comparison of Two Combination Chemotherapy Regimens in Treating Adults With Previously Untreated Leukemia or Lymphoma

Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which regimen of combination chemotherapy is more effective for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, lymphoblastic lymphoma, or chronic myelogenous leukemia. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different chemotherapy regimens and comparing them to see how well they work in treating adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, lymphoblastic lymphoma, or chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Complete Remission (CR)
complete remission (CR) Disappearance of all clinical evidence of leukemia for a minimum of four weeks. The patient should have a neutrophil count \> 1,000 x 10\^6/1, a platelet count \> 100,000 x 10\^9/1, no circulating blasts, and \< than or = to blasts on bone marrow differential in a qualitatively normal or hypercellular marrow. Progressive disease or failure: Increasing bone marrow infiltrate or development of organ failure or extramedullary infiltrates due to leukemia.
