Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, vinblastine, and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage I or stage II Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Response
24 weeks
Study Arms (1)
doxorubicin + vinblastine + gemcitabine
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive doxorubicin IV over 3-5 minutes, vinblastine IV over 3-5 minutes, and gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron-emission tomography (PET) scanning and CT scan before treatment and after courses 2 and 6 of therapy to assess response. Patients with a positive PET scan after completion of study therapy may undergo biopsy. A PET scan is performed 3 months later if biopsy is negative or biopsy is unable to be performed. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 4 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually for 5 years.
