Combination Chemotherapy Followed by Second-Look Surgery and Radiation Therapy in Treating Children With Nonmetastatic Medulloblastoma or Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor

Study:

Systemic Chemotherapy, Second Look Surgery and Conformal Radiation Therapy Limited to the Posterior Fossa and Primary Site for Children Greater Than or Equal to 8 Months and Less Than 3 Years With Non-metastatic Medulloblastoma: A Children`s Oncology Group Phase III Study

Rationale:

Drugs used in chemotherapy use 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. Combining more than one drug and combining chemotherapy with surgery and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

Purpose:

This phase III trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy followed by second-look surgery and radiation therapy works in treating children with nonmetastatic medulloblastoma or primitive neuroectodermal tumor.
