Sponsored by: Societe Internationale d'Oncologie Pediatrique
Information provided by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00002898
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug with surgery and/or radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying surgery followed by different regimens of combination chemotherapy given together with radiation therapy and/or additional surgery to compare how well they work in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
