Topotecan, High-Dose Cyclophosphamide, Carboplatin, and an Autologous Peripheral Blood Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian Cancer or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

RATIONALE: Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF help stem cells move from the patient's bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. Combination chemotherapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized trial is studying the side effects and best dose of topotecan when given together with high-dose cyclophosphamide, and carboplatin followed by an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant in treating patients with recurrent ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal cancer.
