DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Newly diagnosed sporadic or neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)-associated high-grade
malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs)

- Stage III or stage IV (metastatic) disease

- Measurable disease, defined as at least 1 tumor that is measurable in 2 dimensions on
CT scan or MRI

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

- Ejection fraction normal by echocardiogram or MUGA

- Serum creatinine normal for age OR creatinine clearance > 60 mL/min

- SGPT < 5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)

- Bilirubin < 2.5 times ULN

- Absolute neutrophil count = 1,500/mm^3*

- Hemoglobin = 9.0 g/dL*

- Platelet count = 100,000/mm^3*

- ECOG performance status 0-2

- Not pregnant or nursing

- Negative pregnancy test

- Fertile patients must use effective contraception during and for 6 months after
completion of study treatment NOTE: * Unsupported

PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:

- No prior chemotherapy for MPNST

- Prior surgical resection of MPNST allowed provided residual or recurrent measurable
disease is present

- Recovered from toxic effects of all prior therapy

- At least 3 weeks since prior chemotherapy or biologic therapy for treatment of a
plexiform neurofibroma, optical pathway tumor, or other NF1-associated tumor (in
patients with NF1)

- At least 6 weeks since prior radiotherapy for treatment of a plexiform neurofibroma,
optical pathway tumor, or other NF1-associated tumor (in patients with NF1)

- At least 4 weeks since prior radiotherapy to the area involved by MPNST

- No other concurrent growth factors (e.g., sargramostim [GM-CSF] or interleukin-11)

- Concurrent epoetin alfa allowed
