Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the response rates of patients with advanced neuroblastoma or other pediatric solid tumors treated with arsenic trioxide Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients
OUTLINE Patients are stratified according to type of disease neuroblastoma with progressive disease vs neuroblastoma with stable refractory disease vs other solid tumor
Patients receive arsenic trioxide IV over 1-4 hours on days 1-5 and 8-12 Treatment repeats every 28 days for a maximum of 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
