Filter by:This phase II trial is studying how well pelvic exenteration works in treating patients with recurrent cervical cancer. Pelvic exenteration may be effective in treating recurrent cervical cancer.
This study is being done to see if treatment for esophageal cancer can be done using endoscopy for patients ineligible for surgical or radiological therapy. The standard method of treating this type of cancer is surgical removal of the esophagus. The study will determine if removing just the cancer with endoscopy is enough treatment or if the addition of another treatment called photodynamic therapy (treatment with a red light and a drug called sodium porfimer) is needed.
The purpose of this research study is to find out the effectiveness of the experimental combination of Docetaxel, Cisplatin, and radiation therapy administered prior to the surgical removal of your esophageal cancer.
The main purpose of this trial is to determine how well patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma respond to chemotherapy with epirubicin, cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil followed by continuous infusion 5-fluorouracil chemotherapy given along with radiation therapy.
The purpose of this study is to collect anti-tumor activity of vinorelbine when given to patients with esophageal or gastric tumors. We will also collect information on the toxicities of vinorelbine in these patients.
The purpose of this trial is to test the combination of Gleevec® (also known as imatinib mesylate) and Taxotere (also known as docetaxel) in patients with incurable stomach cancer. This study is being performed to see if the combination of Gleevec and Taxotere is an effective treatment for incurable stomach cancer with minimal side effects.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 5-fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing and also as a radiosensibilisant. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. 5-fluorouracil may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Oral 5-fluorouracil is more convenient for ambulatory patients. Giving UFT (Tegafur and Uracil) with radiation therapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so it can be removed. PURPOSE: This phase III trial is studying how well giving UFT with radiation therapy works in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for operable rectal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the experimental vaccine "modified CEA peptide CAP 1 -6D" (mCEA) can produce an immune response in patients with pancreatic cancer who have received chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
The aims of this protocol are: 1. To study the safety and tolerability of the combination of etanercept and gemcitabine in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer: 2. To estimate the anti-tumor effect as measured by the proportion of patients free of disease-progression at six months after treatment initiation.
This study will determine the maximum tolerated dose of the triplet combination of capecitabine that can be administered in combination with weekly paclitaxel and every four weeks with carboplatin.
