Chemotherapy Plus Peripheral Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Central Nervous System Cancer
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors, Head and Neck Cancer, Lymphoma
In brief
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplant may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well chemotherapy and peripheral stem cell transplant work in treating patients with central nervous system cancer.
