Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing
so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving them in different ways
may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known which regimen of combination chemotherapy is
more effective for acute lymphoblastic leukemia
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare different regimens of combination chemotherapy
in treating children who have newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
