Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop
the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving temozolomide together
with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving temozolomide together with radiation
therapy works in treating young patients with pontine glioma.
