PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the incidence of hepatotoxicity with a conditioning regimen of CY (cyclophosphamide)/tBU (busulfan) in patients receiving hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine overall and non-relapse mortality at day +200 after HCT.
II. To determine the peak bilirubin levels through day +20 after HCT.
III. To determine the incidence of pulmonary toxicity in the form of idiopathic pulmonary syndrome (IPS).
IV. To determine the rate of graft failure.
V. To determine the time to engraftment.
VI. To determine the rate of relapse.
VII. To determine the incidence and severity of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
VIII. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics/dynamics of BU and CY.
X. To evaluate the pharmacogenomics of response, toxicity and pharmacokinetics of CY/tBU.
OUTLINE:
CONDITIONING REGIMEN: Patients receive cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) on days -7 and -6 and busulfan IV over 3 hours on days -5 to -2.
TRANSPLANTATION: Patients undergo allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant on day 0.
POST-TRANSPLANT IMMUNOSUPPRESSION: Patients receive tacrolimus IV or orally (PO) twice daily on days -1 to 200 with taper on day 56 and methotrexate on days 1, 3, 6, and 11.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

- Effectiveness of Cyclophosphamide/Busulfan Regimen in Reducing Regimen-related Liver Toxicity [ Time Frame: Up to day +20 ]Number of patients with regimen-related liver toxicity. Diagnoses will be made according to the established criteria initially proposed in 1984 by McDonald et al.
- Non-relapse Mortality (NRM) (Patients With AML/MDS) [ Time Frame: Up to day 200 ]Cumulative incidence rate with death as a competing risk, assessed at day 100.
