Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Giving combination chemotherapy before surgery may shrink the tumor
so it can be removed during surgery. Giving more chemotherapy after surgery may kill any
remaining tumor cells. It is not yet known which chemotherapy regimen after surgery is most
effective in treating Wilm's tumor.
PURPOSE: Phase III trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy before and after surgery
in treating children who have Wilm's tumor.
