RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is most effective in treating Hodgkin's lymphoma.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of different regimens of combination chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy in treating patients who have Hodgkin's lymphoma.
