Brief Summary
This phase III trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy works when given before radiation therapy and/or additional chemotherapy in treating young patients with newly diagnosed Hodgkin's lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and giving them together with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Event Free Survival Without Receiving Radiation Therapy (EFSnoRT).
Survival is defined as the minimum time from study entry to requirement for additional chemotherapy and IFRT for retrieval, occurrence of a second malignant neoplasm, or death from any cause. Patients without report of such events where censored at last contact. Patients who achieve less than CR after 3 cycles of AV-PC will require IFRT and hence will satisfy this definition at the time of response evaluation. Patients who achieve a CR but who relapse will receive addition chemotherapy and IFRT or intense retrieval and hence will satisfy this definition at the time of the first relapse of Hodgkin disease. This endpoint will be used to compute event free survival without receiving radiation therapy (EFSnoRT).
At 60 months
Intensive Therapy Free Survival (ITFS).
Survival is defined as the minimum time from study entry to a relapse of higher risk at any time, any relapse following treatment with protocol mandated IFRT, death from any cause, or the occurrence of a second malignant neoplasm. This will be used to compute intensive therapy free survival (ITFS). Patients without report of such events where censored at last contact. This differs from traditional EFS in that relapse after AVPC\* x3 therapy alone that does not place the patient in a higher risk category is not considered a treatment failure. In this definition, higher-risk relapse refers to relapse involving sites and extent of disease that place the patient in the current COG definition of intermediate or high-risk disease. If a patient with CR who experiences a LR relapse is not retreated with protocol-mandated chemotherapy and IFRT, subsequent disease relapses will nevertheless be counted in the analysis of the treatment strategy.
At 60 months
Event Free Survival (EFS)
Survival is defined as the minimum time from study entry to a relapse of any kind, death from any cause, or occurrence of a second malignant neoplasm. Patients without report of such events where censored at last contact. This will be used to compute event free survival (EFS).

Study Arms (1)
Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Cyclophosphamide and Filgrastim
EXPERIMENTALTreatment consists of 3 cycles of Doxorubicin hydrochloride IV (25 mg/m2) days 1 \& 2, Vincristine sulfate IV (1.4 mg/m2 \[max 2.8 mg\]) Days 1 \& 8, Prednisone orally (40 mg/m2) Days 1-7, Cyclophosphamide IV (600 mg/m2) Days 1 \& 2, Filgrastim by mouth or IV (5 micrograms/kg/dose) 24 hours after Cyclophosphamide complete. See detailed description for remainder of therapy.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Histologically confirmed Hodgkin's lymphoma meeting the following criteria:
- Newly diagnosed disease
- Stage IA OR stage IIA without bulky disease
- No lymphocyte-predominant histology
- Staging on this study will be determined by the clinical stage; surgical staging is strongly discouraged, except for the rare situation of equivocal imaging studies below the diaphragm
- Patients may not have received any previous chemotherapy or radiation therapy; patients may not have received systemic corticosteroids within 30 days of enrollment on this protocol; steroids used for treatment of contrast agent allergy required for computed tomography (CT) scans are acceptable
- Creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \>= 70 mL/min/1.73 m\^3
- Total bilirubin =\< 1.5 x normal
- Alanine (ALT) =\< 2.5 x normal
- Shortening fraction \>= 27% by echocardiogram OR ejection fraction \>= 50% by multi-gated acquisition (MUGA)
- No pathologic prolongation of QTc interval on 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG)
- Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test
- Lactating females must agree that they will not breastfeed a child while on this study
- Fertile patients must use effective contraception
- Males and females of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method
- +2 more criteria
