Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of temozolomide followed by radiation therapy in treating children who have newly diagnosed malignant central nervous system tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the response rate to treatment with temozolomide in children with newly diagnosed malignant central nervous system tumors
Determine the toxicity of this treatment in these patients
Determine the overall survival in these patients for 18 months following the study after receiving this treatment

OUTLINE Patients are stratified according to type of disease ependymoma vs brain stem glioma vs malignant glioma vs other

Patients receive oral temozolomide on days 1-5 Treatment repeats every 28 days for a maximum of 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients with a partial or complete response may receive an additional 8 courses of temozolomide following radiotherapy

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A maximum of 100 patients 25 per stratum will be accrued for this study over 24-36 months
