Summary
Brief summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy and radiation therapy with peripheral stem
cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy or radiation
therapy and kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy with topotecan,
cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, and vincristine plus radiation therapy and peripheral stem cell
transplantation in treating children with newly diagnosed medulloblastoma or supratentorial
primitive neuroectodermal tumor.
