Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells.
Combining more than one drug and combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more
tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy to
see how well they work in treating children with localized ependymoma.
