Clinical trials: Childhood Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Leukemia, Lymphoma
Chemotherapy Plus Radiation Therapy and Biological Therapy in Treating Patients With Hematologic Cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells.
