Brief Summary: This is a research study involving the treatment of leukemia or lymphoma lymph gland cancer in adults who have leukemia or lymphoma that is unlikely to be cured with regular anticancer drugs or radiation treatments
Detailed Description: This is a research study involving the treatment of leukemia or lymphoma lymph gland cancer in adults who have leukemia or lymphoma that is unlikely to be cured with regular anticancer drugs or radiation treatments Intensive treatment with high doses of chemotherapy followed by a bone marrow transplant BMT from an HLA-tissue-type matched related donor would provide the best chance for cure of this leukemia or lymphoma However the success of BMT from relatives is limited in patients who are older than 50 years andor have organ dysfunction by substantial complications due to the high dose chemotherapy related toxicity graft-versus- host disease GVHD and relapse Patients eligible for this study have an HLA matched sibling but a BMT from the sibling would carry a high risk for severe side effects due to the patients age andor organ dysfunction

Researchers are evaluating a new treatment for adult patients with leukemia and lymphoma which involves regular dose chemotherapy and blood stem cell transplantation from an HLA-matched relative with injections of donor immune cells a type of white blood cells given if you later relapse In this study the safety and feasibility of this treatment strategy are being investigated
