Brief Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies busulfan, melphalan, and stem cell transplant after chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed neuroblastoma that is likely to come back or spread. Giving chemotherapy to the entire body before a stem cell transplant stops the growth of tumor cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood and stored. More chemotherapy or radiation therapy is given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy.

Up to 28 days post-consolidation therapy, up to 1 year
Other Outcomes (10)
Incidence of Non-hematologic Organ Toxicity (Grade 3 and Higher) and All Cause Mortality Graded According to CTC v4.0
Up to 180 days
Response Rate Determined Using the International Response Criteria

Study Arms (1)
Treatment (induction therapy, consolidation therapy, ASCT)
EXPERIMENTALINDUCTION THERAPY: COURSES 1-2: Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 15-30 minutes and topotecan hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 2 courses. COURSES 3 AND 5: Patients receive cisplatin IV over 1 hour on days 1-4 and etoposide IV over 1-2 hours on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 2 courses. COURSE 4: Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1-6 hours on days 1-2, vincristine sulfate IV over 1 minute on days 1-3, and doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 24 hours on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 1 course. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. CONSOLIDATION THERAPY: Beginning 4-8 weeks following the 5th course of induction therapy, patients receive busulfan IV over 3 hours on days -6 to -3 and melphalan IV on day -1. Patients undergo ASCT on day 0. Some patients also undergo EBRT after induction and consolidation.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients must have a diagnosis of neuroblastoma (International Classification of Diseases for Oncology \[ICD-O\] morphology 9500/3) or ganglioneuroblastoma (nodular or intermixed) verified by histology or demonstration of clumps of tumor cells in bone marrow with elevated urinary catecholamine metabolites; patients with the following disease stages at diagnosis are eligible, if they meet the other specified criteria
- Patients with newly diagnosed neuroblastoma with International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS) stage 4 are eligible with the following:
- V-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene neuroblastoma derived homolog (MYCN) amplification (\> 4-fold increase in MYCN signals as compared to reference signals), regardless of age or additional biologic features or
- Age \> 18 months (\> 547 days) regardless of biologic features or
- Age 12-18 months (365-547 days) with any of the following 3 unfavorable biologic features (MYCN amplification, unfavorable pathology and/or deoxyribonucleic acid \[DNA\] index = 1) or any biologic feature that is indeterminate/unsatisfactory/unknown
- Patients with newly diagnosed neuroblastoma with INSS stage 3 are eligible with the following:
- MYCN amplification (\> 4-fold increase in MYCN signals as compared to reference signals), regardless of age or additional biologic features or
- Age \> 18 months (\> 547 days) with unfavorable pathology, regardless of MYCN status

- Patients \>= 365 days initially diagnosed with neuroblastoma INSS stage 1, 2, 4S who progressed to a stage 4 without interval chemotherapy; these patients must have been enrolled on ANBL00B1; study enrollment on ANBL12P1 must occur within 4 weeks of progression to stage 4 for INSS stage 1, 2, 4S
- Patients must not have had prior systemic therapy except for localized emergency radiation to sites of life-threatening or function-threatening disease and/or no more than 1 cycle of chemotherapy per a low or intermediate risk neuroblastoma regimen (as per P9641, A3961, ANBL0531, or similar) prior to determination of MYCN amplification status and histology
- Creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \>= 70 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 or a serum creatinine based on age/gender as follows:
