Chemotherapy Followed by Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Children With Newly Diagnosed Brain Tumor

Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors, Neuroblastoma, Retinoblastoma, Sarcoma

In brief

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of different regimens of combination chemotherapy followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating children who have newly diagnosed brain tumor.
