Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Sometimes neuroblastoma will regress without treatment, but sometimes additional treatment may be necessary. Giving more than one chemotherapy drug after surgery to remove the tumor may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study combination chemotherapy or observation following surgery in treating infants with neuroblastoma.
