Brief Summary:
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving the drugs in different combinations may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of standard combination chemotherapy treatment with more intensive combination chemotherapy in treating children with acute lymphocytic leukemia.

Primary Outcome Measures
:
- Event Free Survival [ Time Frame: from the time of randomization where the life table events will consist of the first occurrence of the following events: failure to achieve remission, leukemic relapse at any site, death, or occurrence of a second malignancy. ]The primary outcome index used in examining most of the randomized treatment groups will be event-free survival (EFS).
