In order to improve the clinical result of high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation for B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Zevalin will be added to the conditioning regimen. Investigators expect this radioimmunotherapy of Zevalin plus busulfan, cyclophosphamide and etoposide regimen will improve survival of relapsed or poor-risk B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Title: Combining 90Y-Ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) with high-dose chemotherapy of BuCyE and autologous stem cell transplantation in patients with relapsed, refractory, or high-risk B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma - an open-labeled phase II study. Study design: Prospective, multicenter, open-labeled, phase II trial. Study objectives: * Primary: event-free survival time following autologous stem cell transplantation with 90Y-Ibritumomab tiuxetan and BuCyE high-dose chemotherapy in patients with relapsed, refractory, or high-risk B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma * Secondary: overall survival response rate toxicity of the treatment combination Treatment: Z-BuCyE Regimen * Day 21: rituximab, 250 mg/m2, I.V. * Day 14: rituximab, 250 mg/m2, I.V. 90Y-Ibritumomab tiuxetan, 0.4 mCi/kg, I.V. * Day 7, 6, 5: busulfan 3.2 mg/kg I.V. * Day 5, 4: etoposide 200 mg/m2 I.V. every 12 hours * Day 3, 2: Cytoxan 50 mg/kg I.V. * Day 0: autologous stem cell infusion

Event-free survival
Three year event-free survival rate would be reported.
Time frame: the time from stem cell infusion to failure or death from any cause
Overall survival
Three year overall survival would be reported.
Time frame: from stem cell infusion to death of any cause or last follow-up
Toxicity of the treatment combination
Adverse events would be assessed and graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), version 3.0. And the frequency of each grade would be reported as case number and proportion.
Time frame: any toxicity due to study treatment during study period
