                       toxicities; CR1 high-risk ALL. High risk ALL is defined as having one of the

                  marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma which have progressed within
                  12 months of achieving a partial or complete remission. Patients who had
                  remissions lasting > 12 months, are eligible after at least two prior therapies.
                  Patients with bulky disease should be considered for debulking chemotherapy
                  before transplant. Patients with refractory disease are eligible, unless bulky

               -  Myeloproliferative Neoplasms/Myelofibrosis

               -  Other Leukemia Subtypes: A major effort in the field of hematology is to identify
                  patients who are of high risk for treatment failure so that patients can be
                  appropriately stratified to either more (or less) intensive therapy. This effort
                  is continually ongoing and retrospective studies identify new disease features or
                  characteristics that are associated with treatment outcomes. Therefore, if new
                  features are identified after the writing of this protocol, patients can be
                  enrolled with the approval of two members of the study committee.

             the physician's note.
