Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must be =\< 12 years of age at the time of study enrollment. Patients will be stratified into 4 age groups: * 0 to 6 months * 6 months and 1 day to 12 months * 12 months and 1 day to 36 months * 36 months and 1 day to 12 years with a BSA ≥ 0.6 m\^2 * Newly diagnosed and relapsed cancer diagnosis that is being treated with vinCRIStine at the 1.5 mg/m\^2 dose level * Any disease status * Patients must have a Lansky performance status of 50 or higher * Patients must be receiving a treatment regimen that includes 1.5 mg/m\^2 vinCRIStine (maximum dose 2 mg) * Patients with a BSA \< 0.6 m\^2 must be dosed according to the Children's Oncology Group (COG) BSA-banded infant dosing table for the 1.5mg/m2 dose level for vinCRIStine * Note: Patients can be studied after any dose of vinCRIStine * Patients who are NOT enrolled on a COG clinical trial and who have a BSA \< 0.6 m\^2 and who are being dosed according to another infant dosing method (e.g., the 30-Rule) can receive a dose of vinCRIStine from the infant dosing table for the pharmacokinetic study. These patients will NOT be part of the Dose Modification Assessment * Patients with a seizure disorder may be enrolled if on allowable anticonvulsants and well controlled as evidenced by no increase in seizure frequency in the prior 7 days * Nervous system toxicities (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\]) version (v)5 resulting from prior therapy must be grade =\< 2 * Central venous access device in place (e.g., percutaneous indwelling central catheter \[PICC\], port, Broviac) or scheduled to be placed prior to the dose of vinCRIStine and that can be used for pharmacokinetic (PK) sampling * VinCRIStine may be given as an outpatient, as long as all sample time points can be collected, which will require return for hour 24 sampling Exclusion Criteria: * Azoles antifungals and macrolide antibiotics: Patients who are currently receiving an azole or macrolide (e.g., fluconazole, isavuconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, ketoconazole, eryromycin, clarithromycin, azithromycin, roxithromycin, or telithromycin) are not eligible * CYP3A4/5 inducers/inhibitors: Patients receiving any medications or substances that are considered moderate or strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4/5 are not eligible. Moderate or strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4/5 should be avoided from 14 days prior to enrollment to the end of the study. * Note the following are allowed: * Dexamethasone for CNS tumors or metastases, on a stable dose * Aprepitant for management of nausea and vomiting * Anticonvulsants: Patients receiving moderate or strong CYP3A4/5 enzyme inducing anticonvulsants are not eligible. * Patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease * A baseline neurological disorder with manifestations that overlap with vinCRIStine-associated neurotoxicities * Patients being treated on a Children Oncology Group (COG) clinical trial, that does not use the infant dosing tables for vinCRIStine are not eligible for this study. * Patients receiving a modified dose (\< 1.5 mg/m\^2) of vinCRIStine due to prior toxicity * Patients who in the opinion of the investigator may not be able to comply with the sampling requirements of the study
