Summary:

      This phase II trial is studying how well umbilical cord blood transplant from a donor works
      in treating patients with hematological cancer. Giving chemotherapy and total-body
      irradiation (TBI) before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop the growth of
      cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the
      donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from an unrelated donor, that do not exactly
      match the patient's blood, are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone
      marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the
      transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells
      (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil before and
      after transplant may stop this from happening.

                  least 3.0 x 10^7 TNC per kilogram recipient weight based on pre-cryopreservation
                  numbers, with each CB unit containing a MINIMUM of 1.5 x 10^7 TNC/kg

                  from a single or combined double

               -  The unmanipulated CB unit(s) will be Food and Drug Administration (FDA) licensed
                  or will be obtained under a separate investigational new drug (IND), such as the
                  National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) Protocol 10-CBA conducted under BB IND-7555
                  or another IND sponsored by (1) a participating institution or (2) an
                  investigator at FHCRC or one of the participating institutions

               -  FHCRC only: Up to 5% of cord blood product, when ready for infusion, may be
                  withheld for research purposes as long as thresholds for infused TNC dose are
                  met; threshold for double unit transplantation is >= 3.0 x 10^7/kg; these
                  products will be used to conduct studies involving the immunobiology of double
                  cord transplantation and kinetics of engraftment

             hepatitis A, B, C, HIV, and human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV-1) viruses; any
             additional available virology results on the unit itself will be reviewed but are not
             mandated, complete or always available; cord blood units are presumed to be
             cytomegalovirus (CMV) negative regardless of serologic testing due to passive
