To prospectively look at the utility of routine cervical mediastinoscopy (lymph node biopsy) in patients with clinically staged T2N0M0 NSCLC, as well as patients with clinically staged T1N0M0 NSCLC with a high maxSUV of the primary tumor on PET imaging. Hypothesis #1: The prevalence of mediastinal lymph node metastases detectable by cervical mediastinoscopy is sufficiently low (\<10%) to not support the routine use of this test in the study population. Hypothesis #2: The preoperative detection of occult(hidden) N2 lymph node metastases by cervical mediastinoscopy in patients with clinically staged T2N0M0 NSCLC or T1N0M0 NSCLC with maxSUV \>10 on PET does not provide a survival benefit when compared to detection of occult N2 lymph node metastases at the time of thoracotomy using nodal dissection or systematic sampling.
NCT01230788
This is a pilot study of a drug called rituximab used together with other drugs-prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide. Prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide have been used as part of standard chemotherapy for relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Rituximab was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1997. However, the use of rituximab with prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory ALL is considered experimental. This study is for patients who have ALL in second or greater relapse, or in first relapse and not responding to treatment. The goals of this study are: * To see if using rituximab with prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide is beneficial to leukemia treatment * To find out what side effects this combination of drugs can cause A total of 15 participants (30 years old or younger) will be enrolled, over a period of 2 years.
