Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
- Histologically confirmed high-risk rhabdomyosarcoma or ectomesenchymoma
- Prior enrollment on COG-D9902 to confirm local histological diagnosis required
- Tissue must be submitted for pathologic review within 2 days of patient registration on COG-D9902

- Parameningeal and paraspinal tumors allowed
- Patients with parameningeal (without intracranial extension \[ICE\]) and paraspinal tumors should begin study chemotherapy at week 1 and radiotherapy at week 20
- Patients with evidence of ICE, as defined by contrast MRI showing that primary tumor touches, displaces, invades, distorts, or otherwise causes a signal abnormality of the dura in contiguity to the primary site in brain or spinal cord, are eligible
- ICE is presumed to exist if the cerebrospinal fluid cytopathology is positive for tumor at diagnosis
- Patients requiring emergency radiotherapy are eligible
- Patients requiring emergency radiotherapy (for intracranial extension or spinal cord impingement) should begin study chemotherapy at week 1 (irinotecan hydrochloride and vincristine) concurrently with radiation therapy

- Creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate ≥ 70 mL/min (≥ 40 mL/min for infants \< 1 year of age)
- Patients with urinary tract obstruction by tumor must meet the renal function criteria listed above AND must have unimpeded urinary flow established via decompression of the obstructed portion of the urinary tract
- SGPT \< 2.5 times normal
- Bilirubin \< 1.5 mg/dL
- Shortening fraction ≥ 27% by echocardiogram OR ejection fraction ≥ 50% by MUGA
- Not pregnant or nursing
- Negative pregnancy test
- Fertile patients must use effective contraception during study and for ≥ 1 month after study completion
- No evidence of uncontrolled infection
- Able to undergo radiotherapy NOTE: \*Abnormal blood counts allowed if there is bone marrow biopsy or aspirate proven bone marrow involvement by rhabdomyosarcoma
- PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
- No prior chemotherapy except steroids
- No prior radiotherapy
- No concurrent aprepitant during ifosfamide or doxorubicin hydrochloride chemotherapy
- No concurrent dexrazoxane
- No concurrent sargramostim (GM-CSF) or pegfilgrastim
