Effect of the chemotherapy, as with all cancers, depends on the time of diagnosis. With faster growing cancers, such as this one, the cancer actually responds faster than with slower growing cancers.

Chemotherapy

• doxorubicin
• vincristine
• methotrexate
• cytarabine
• ifosfamide
• etoposide

Other treatments are immunotherapy, bone marrow transplants, surgery to remove the tumor, and radiotherapy.
