Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
High Risk Rhabdomyosarcoma
Parameningeal (without intracranial extension) and paraspinal tumors receive chemotherapy starting Week 1 and begin radiation therapy at Week 20. Weeks 1-6: vincristine sulfate and irinotecan hydrochloride. Weeks 7-34: vincristine sulfate and irinotecan hydrochloride, Cyclophosphamide with MESNA, Doxorubicin hydrochloride, Etoposide, Ifosfamide with MESNA. Weeks 35-54: vincristine sulfate, Dactinomycin, irinotecan hydrochloride and Cyclophosphamide with MESNA and Filgrastim. Radiation therapy beginning at Week 20. Second look conventional surgery: Surgical resection other than biopsy will be applicable for the majority of patients.
