Experimental: Standard APO with Vincristine (Arm I ) - In courses 1-3, patients receive doxorubicin hydrochloride (30 mg/m2) IV over 15 minutes, vincristine sulfate (1.5 mg/m2 (maximum dose 2 mg)) IV, and methotrexate intrathecally (age-adjusted dosing) (IT) on day 1 and oral prednisone (40 mg/m2/day) three times daily and oral mercaptopurine (225 mg/m2) once daily on days 1-5.

Summary
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 cancer cells. It is not yet known if combination chemotherapy with vinblastine is more effective than combination chemotherapy with vincristine in treating advanced anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two combination chemotherapy regimens with either vinblastine or vincristine in treating patients who have newly diagnosed advanced anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
