Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation
may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying peripheral stem cell transplantation
with treated peripheral stem cells following combination chemotherapy to see how well it
works compared to peripheral stem cell transplantation with untreated peripheral stem cells
following combination chemotherapy in treating patients with neuroblastoma.
