Clinical trials: Localized Unresectable Neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma
Combination Chemotherapy Followed by Stem Cell Transplant and Isotretinoin in Treating Young Patients With High-Risk Neuroblastoma
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before an autologous stem cell transplant stops the growth of tumor cells by stopping them from dividing or by killing them. It also prepares the patient's bone marrow for the stem cell transplant.
