Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in 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. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective with or without
radiation therapy in treating patients who have rhabdomyosarcoma.
PURPOSE: Phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy with or without
radiation therapy in treating patients who have newly-diagnosed rhabdomyosarcoma.
