PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine whether patients randomized to the experimental dexrazoxane hydrochloride (DRZ) arms have decreased markers of cardiomyopathy/heart failure (CHF) compared with patients on the standard arm.
II. To evaluate whether the cardioprotective effect of DRZ is modified by anthracycline (anthracycline analogue GPX-150) dose, chest radiation, and demographic factors (age at cancer diagnosis, current age, sex).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine whether patients on the DRZ arms experienced differential rates of overall-survival and event-free survival compared with the standard therapy arms.
II. To determine whether projected quality-adjusted life years (QALY) differed by randomization status, accounting for premature cardiac disease, primary disease relapse, and second cancers.
OUTLINE:
Patients complete a diagnostic symptom checklist, undergo a physical exam, echocardiogram, collection of serum for biomarker testing, and a 6 minute walk test, and complete quality of life, family history, physical activity, and smoking questionnaires.

- Left ventricular thickness-to-dimension ratio assessed using standard 2-dimensional. [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Univariate tests will be used as well as examination of the entire cohort via multivariable regression adjusting for all a priori covariates of interest.
- Left ventricular thickness-to-dimension ratio assessed using M-mode. [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Univariate tests will be used as well as examination of the entire cohort via multivariable regression adjusting for all a priori covariates of interest.
- Left ventricular thickness-to-dimension ratio assessed using Doppler echocardiogram. [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Univariate tests will be used as well as examination of the entire cohort via multivariable regression adjusting for all a priori covariates of interest.
- Differences in serum biomarkers (particularly cardiac troponins and natriuretic peptides) [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
- Primary disease relapse [ Time Frame: Baseline ]An analytic Markov model will be created and used.
- Quality of life based on self-report instruments [ Time Frame: Baseline ]An analytic Markov model will be created and used. Estimates and their 95% confidence will be included to explore the sensitivity of any QALY estimates.
- Second cancer rates [ Time Frame: Baseline ]An analytic Markov model will be created and used.

Ages Eligible for Study: | Child, Adult, Senior |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Probability Sample |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Previously enrolled and randomized on POG 9404, 9425, or 9426
- STRATUM I: Alive and in continuous first complete remission from their original cancer (T-cell leukemia/lymphoma [POG 9404] or Hodgkin lymphoma [POG 9425/9426])
- STRATUM I: Not have been diagnosed with any subsequent malignancy, with the exception of non-melanomatous skin cancer(s); patients with history of only subsequent non-melanomatous skin cancers remain eligible
- STRATUM I: All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent
- Among patients who have relapsed or have experienced a subsequent malignancy other than non-melanomatous skin cancer since their original diagnosis, the study committee will review the available data (both from Children's Oncology Group's [COG's] Statistics and Data Center [SDC] and the participating institution) to determine if individual patients are to be selected for Stratum 2; in recognition that local institutions sometimes have more updated relapse/subsequent cancer data than SDC, in cases where local data is more updated, local data will be used preferentially; the study will petition the Institutional Review Board (IRB) specifically for a waiver of consent to include any relapse and subsequent cancer data obtained from existing records for analysis of the secondary aims; patients selected for Stratum 2 will be those for whom late relapse or subsequent cancer is reported but who lack clear confirmation in existing records (either at SDC or at the local institution)
- STRATUM II: Alive, but have experienced relapse of their original cancer and/or have developed a subsequent cancer (other than non-melanomatous skin cancer) since their original diagnosis
- STRATUM II: All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent
- For all participants, all institutional, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and National Cancer Institute (NCI) requirements for human studies must be met; finally, the coordinating center will create a master list using SDC records and those of local institutions of patients to be approached; patients who otherwise appear to be eligible for Stratum 1 or 2 not identified on this list cannot be enrolled without prior approval from the study chair
