Summary
Brief summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the
growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well cytarabine works in treating young patients
with recurrent or refractory Ewing's sarcoma.
