Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor are rejected by the body's normal cells. Ultraviolet-B light therapy given before and after allogeneic stem cell transplantation may help prevent this from happening. PURPOSE: Clinical trial to study the effectiveness of combining ultraviolet-B light therapy with allogeneic stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have hematologic malignancies.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Study the effectiveness of combining ultraviolet-B light therapy with allogeneic stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have hematologic malignancies.
Patients are followed at least monthly for 3 months and then at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.
Interventions
anti-thymocyte globulin IV over 4 hours on days -2 to -1
cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days -3 to -2
oral cyclosporine on days -1 to 100
fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -8 to -4
methylprednisolone (oral or IV) on days 5-15
Patients undergo ultraviolet-B (UVB) light therapy every other day between days -10 and -2 for a total of 3 days. Posttransplantation UVB light therapy: Following PBSC transplantation, patients undergo UVB light therapy twice weekly on week 1 (at least 1 day apart) and three times weekly on weeks 2-4.
Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation: Patients undergo PBSC transplantation on day 0.
