Summary
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.
