Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining bone marrow or peripheral stem cell transplantation with chemotherapy may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of cancer cells It is not yet known whether a more intensive chemotherapy regimen plus stem cell or bone marrow transplant is more effective than standard chemotherapy in treating patients with myeloma

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two different regimens of combination chemotherapy plus interferon alfa with or without high dose melphalan or bone marrow or peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients with previously untreated myeloma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Compare survival of patients under age 65 with myeloma treated with standard ABCM doxorubicin carmustine cyclophosphamide melphalan vs intensive C-VAMP cyclophosphamide vincristine doxorubicin methylprednisolone followed by high-dose melphalan with or without total-body irradiation with bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell support both with IFN-A maintenance II Compare the toxicity profiles of the 2 treatment arms III Compare the 2 treatment arms with respect to quality of life and health economics issues IV Investigate cellular changes by means of linked morphology phenotype and cytogenetics studies before and after treatment and at relapse
