Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Children With Neuroblastoma

Study:

Treatment for Infants and Children With Intermediate Risk Neuroblastoma: A Phase III Intergroup CCG/POG Study

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. Combination chemotherapy plus surgery may be an effective treatment for neuroblastoma.

Purpose:

This phase III trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy followed by surgery works in treating young patients with neuroblastoma.
