RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy with or without doxorubicin and vinblastine in treating patients with stage I or stage II Hodgkin's disease.
OBJECTIVES: I. Compare progression-free and overall survival of patients with clinical Stage IA/IIA Hodgkin's disease who have not undergone laparotomy and who are randomized to treatment with subtotal nodal irradiation with vs. without 3 courses of doxorubicin/vinblastine. II. Compare the long-term toxicities associated with these treatments, including cardiopulmonary toxicity, secondary malignancies, and infertility. III. Identify subgroups of patients (based on age, gender, tumor histology, number of disease sites, and presence of high neck presentation) that are particularly responsive to these treatments.
OUTLINE: Randomized study. Arm I: Radiotherapy. Subtotal nodal irradiation using megavoltage equipment (4-10 MeV). Arm II: 2-Drug Combination Chemotherapy followed by Radiotherapy. Doxorubicin, DOX, NSC-123127; Vinblastine, VBL, NSC-49842; followed by subtotal nodal irradiation as in Arm I.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: 210 patients/arm will be enrolled over about 7 years.
5,578 studies on the registry are indexed under Lymphoma; 825 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 348 is above the median of 40 across 4,508 interventional studies indexed under Lymphoma.

PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY: Biologic therapy: No prior biologic therapy Chemotherapy: No prior chemotherapy for any reason Endocrine therapy: Not specified Radiotherapy: No prior radiotherapy for any reason Surgery: No staging laparotomy
subtotal nodal irradiation will consist of mantle and periaortic/spleen fields treated sequentially. Total dose 3600-4000 cGy over 20 fractions.
Radiation: standard subtotal nodal irradiation
3 cycles (28 days each) of chemotherapy (doxorubicin 25 mg/m\^2 on days 1 and 15, vinblastine 6 mg/m\^2 on days 1 and 15). Four weeks after last cycle, subtotal nodal irradiation (total dose 3600-4000 cGy over 20 fractions) will be given as described for the Nodal RT arm.
