Summary
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in
chemotherapy, such as temozolomide and lomustine, work in different ways to stop the growth
of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving
radiation therapy together with temozolomide and lomustine after surgery may kill any
remaining tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving radiation therapy together with
temozolomide and lomustine works in treating young patients with newly diagnosed gliomas.
