NCT00187005

Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study is to find out if radiation to the central nervous system (CNS) can be safely omitted with early intensification of chemotherapy and chemotherapy given directly to the CNS. Another purpose is to find out if survival of children with ALL can be improved with risk-directed therapy given on this protocol.
