Study Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving drugs into the thin space between the lining of the spinal cord and brain may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of intrathecal busulfan in treating patients with recurrent, refractory, or metastatic leptomeningeal tumors.
