Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Giving a chemotherapy drug before surgery may shrink the tumor so
that it can be removed during surgery.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of O6-benzylguanine followed by surgery in
treating patients who have solid tumors that can be removed during surgery.
