Summary
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 doctors to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus peripheral
stem cell transplantation in treating infants with malignant brain or spinal cord tumors.
