Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Giving a chemotherapy drug before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it is no longer present by conventional imaging and tumor markers from serum and cerebrospinal fluid Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells Combining different types of therapy may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE This Phase II trial is studying how well neoadjuvant chemotherapy with or without surgery and with or without high dose chemotherapy and peripheral stem cell transplantation can increase response rates prior to radiation therapy and increase progression free and overall surviving patients with newly diagnosed intracranial germ cell tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the response rate of patients with non-germinomatous germ cell tumors treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy
Determine the progression-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy with or without second-look surgery followed by radiotherapy with or without autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation PBSCT
Determine whether additional complete responses can be achieved after high-dose thiotepa and etoposide with PBSCT in patients with persistently positive markers histological evidence of residual malignant elements or unresectable residual tumors after initial neoadjuvant chemotherapy
Determine patterns of recurrence in patients treated with this regimen
Correlate tumor marker response with radiographic and clinical measures of response as well as findings at second-look surgery in patients with radiological evidence of residual disease

OUTLINE

Induction chemotherapy

Courses 1 3 and 5 Patients receive carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 and etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1-3 Beginning on day 4 patients receive filgrastim G-CSF IV or subcutaneously SC for 10 days or until blood counts recover Courses are 3 weeks in duration
Courses 2 4 and 6 Patients receive etoposide IV over 1 hour followed by ifosfamide IV over 1 hour on days 1-5 Beginning on day 6 patients receive G-CSF IV or SC for 10 days or until blood counts recover Courses are 3 weeks in duration

Patients undergo re-evaluation Patients with a complete response CR go directly to radiotherapy Approximately 3 weeks after completion of induction chemotherapy all patients with less than a CR are encouraged to undergo second-look surgery

After second-look surgery patients with a CR or a partial response PR go directly to radiotherapy Patients with less than a PR undergo consolidation chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cell rescue PBSC followed by radiotherapy

Consolidation chemotherapy Patients undergo PBSC collection Patients receive G-CSF SC until PBSC collection is complete Patients then receive thiotepa IV over 3 hours followed by etoposide IV over 3 hours on days -5 to -3 PBSCs are reinfused on day 0 Beginning on day 1 and continuing until blood counts recover patients receive G-CSF SC daily
Radiotherapy All patients receive radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for 5-6 weeks beginning after recovery from induction chemotherapy or second-look surgery or within 9 weeks after PBSC reinfusion

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year every 4 months for 1 year every 6 months for 1 year and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 80-100 patients will be accrued for this study within 36-42 months
