* Hemoglobin \>= 8.0 g/dL (may receive packed red blood cells \[PRBC\] transfusions)
* Bone marrow disease involvement of tumor is allowed, however, peripheral blood count criteria must still be met

  * =\< 1.2 mg/dL (for patients aged 10 to \< 13 years)
  * =\< 1.4 mg/dL (for female patients aged \>= 13 years)
  * =\< 1.5 mg/dL (for male patients aged 13 to \< 16 years)
  * =\< 1.7 mg/dL (for male patients aged \>= 16 years)
* Urine protein level:

  * Patients aged =\< 17 years: Urine protein to creatinine (UPC) ratio should be calculated; UPC ratio must be =\< 1 for patient to be eligible
  * Patients aged \> 17 years: Urine protein should be screened by urine analysis; if protein is 2+ or higher, 24-hour urine protein must be obtained and the level must be \< 1,000 mg for patient enrollment
* Total bilirubin =\< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age
* Shortening fraction of \>= 27% by echocardiogram or ejection fraction of \>= 50% by radionuclide angiogram

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with botryoid histology, any stage or group, are ineligible
* Patients with embryonal histology, stage I or clinical group 1 at initial disease presentation, who present with local or regional recurrence, are ineligible

* Patients with known central nervous system (CNS) disease (excluding intracranial/intraspinal extension secondary to local progression of a parameningeal or paraspinal primary), except for those with treated brain metastasis, are ineligible

  * Treated brain metastases are defined as having no ongoing requirement for steroids and no evidence of progression or hemorrhage after treatment for at least 3 months, as ascertained by clinical examination and brain imaging (magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\] or computed tomography \[CT\]); stable dose of anticonvulsants are allowed; treatment for brain metastases may include whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT), radiosurgery (RS; Gamma Knife, linear accelerator \[LINAC\], or equivalent), or a combination as deemed appropriate by the treating physician
