Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating older patients who have non-Hodgkins lymphoma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the complete remission CR rate and duration of CR in frail elderly patients with diffuse large B-cell or peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma treated with cyclophosphamide vincristine and prednisone
Determine the time to progression and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen
Determine the severe toxicity rate of this regimen in these patients
Assess the quality of life of patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is a multicenter study

Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV and vincristine IV on day 1 and oral prednisone on days 1-5 Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Patients with stage I or II non-Hodgkins lymphoma NHL no baseline lactate dehydrogenase LDH elevation baseline WHO performance status 0-1 and longest tumor diameter of less than 5 cm who achieve partial response PR or complete response CR receive 1 additional course of chemotherapy Patients then undergo involved-field radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for 35-4 weeks

Patients with stage I or II NHL a baseline LDH elevation andor baseline WHO performance status 2-4 andor longest tumor diameter of at least 5 cm who achieve PR or CR receive 3 additional courses of chemotherapy Patients then undergo involved-field radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for 35-4 weeks

Patients with stage III or IV NHL who achieve CR or PR receive 3 additional courses of chemotherapy Patients then undergo consolidative radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for 25-3 weeks

Quality of life is assessed at baseline after the third chemotherapy course at the end of chemotherapy every 6 months for 3 years and then annually thereafter

Patients are followed every 3 months for 3 years every 6 months for 2 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 29-56 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-18 months
