Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Children With Progressive Brain Tumors

Study:

Chemotherapy for Progressive Low Grade Astrocytoma in Children Less Than Ten Years Old

Rationale:

Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

Purpose:

This randomized phase III trial is studying two different combination chemotherapy regimens and comparing how well they work in treating children with low-grade astrocytomas or other residual tumors of the brain.
