Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and combining chemotherapy with
peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of
chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of high-dose combination chemotherapy and
peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have advanced or recurrent
sarcoma.
