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 may kill more cancer cells. It is
not yet known which regimen of chemotherapy is more effective for acute lymphoblastic
leukemia.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing four regimens of combination
chemotherapy to see how well they work in treating children with newly diagnosed acute
lymphoblastic leukemia.
