Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Colony-stimulating factors such as thrombopoietin and G-CSF may
increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a
person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of colony-stimulating factors in treating
children who have recurrent or refractory solid tumors and who are receiving chemotherapy.
