Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinblastine and carboplatin, work in different
ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from
dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vinblastine when
given together with carboplatin in treating young patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent
low-grade glioma.
