Chemotherapy and Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Children With Central Nervous System Cancer
Completed · Phase 1
Conditions studied: Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors, Lymphoma, Neuroblastoma, Retinoblastoma
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 I trial to study the effectiveness of combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating children who have central nervous system cancer.
