Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it
can be removed during surgery. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving chemotherapy before and after
surgery works in treating patients with osteosarcoma.
