PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of bone marrow transplantation in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES Examine the potential role for high dose cyclophosphamide total body irradiation and bone marrow transplantation for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who are at high risk for disease progression
