Combination Chemotherapy With or Without Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Rhabdomyosarcoma

Study:

Actinomycin D and Vincristine With or Without Radiation Therapy, for Newly Diagnosed Patients With Low-Risk Rhabdomyosarcoma or Undifferentiated Sarcoma: IRS-V Protocol

Rationale:

Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective with or without radiation therapy in treating patients who have rhabdomyosarcoma.

Purpose:

Phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy in treating patients who have newly-diagnosed rhabdomyosarcoma.
