Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer
cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one
drug (combination chemotherapy), and giving the drugs in different combinations may kill more
cancer cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy works in treating
patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
