Filter by:When colon or rectal cancer has spread to the liver, the cancer in the liver can sometimes be removed surgically. However, the cancer has a chance or reoccurring in the liver or elsewhere in the body. This study will determine if giving chemotherapy treatment before the surgery can reduce the chances that the cancer will come back.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) the combination of three chemotherapy drugs (cetuximab, cisplatin, and irinotecan) have on esophageal cancer when given with radiation therapy.
The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of chemotherapy drugs and drugs to suppress testosterone (hormone therapy) is effective in controlling early prostate cancer. This study will attempt to: - stop or slow the growth of disease - gain information about prostate cancer - evaluate the effectiveness and side effects of the study drug
The purpose of this study is to collect information about the antitumor activity and the safety of capecitabine and thalidomide in patients with colorectal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to collect information on the anti-tumor activity of the combination doxorubicin, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil when given to patients with advanced esophageal or gastric adenocarcinoma. We will also be collecting information about the side effects and safety of this combination.
This is a Phase II open-label trial evaluating the efficacy, and safety of Erbitux in patients with mucinous gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma involving the peritoneal surface.
We plan to conduct a phase I/II clinical trial using biweekly gemcitabine, oxaliplatin, and 48-hour infusion of high dose 5-FU/leucovorin to treat patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. In the phase I part, the maximum tolerable dose of oxaliplatin in combination with biweekly gemcitabine 800 mg/m2 and 48-hour infusion of 5-FU 3000 mg/m2 and leucovorin 300 mg/m2 will be determined. In the phase II part, the efficacy and safety of the biweekly chemotherapy with GOFL will be evaluated.
Purpose: The aim of this clinical trail is to evaluate the effectiveness of Zoledronate (Zometa) combined with Estramustine and Docetaxel (Taxotere) in the treatment of patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer.
Hormonal therapy is the standard treatment for prostate cancer which has spread to other areas of the body. Despite the high initial response rates to hormonal therapy, the vast majority of men will develop cancer which is no longer responsive to hormone deprivation. The average time for hormonal therapy to be effective is about 18 months. Chemotherapy combinations which can treat the disease when it no longer responds to hormonal therapy have been developed, but these treatments are not curative. One of these combinations is estramustine, etoposide and paclitaxel. In men with far advanced disease, 60% will have a decrease in their PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) or shrinkage of tumors after treatment with this chemotherapy. Despite this, these men have all developed further disease progression requiring additional treatment. One possible way to make chemotherapy more effective is to give it when the number of tumor cells is smallest, and the number of cells to be killed is at a low level. One situation in which this is true is when a man has responded to hormonal therapy any tumors are at their smallest size. This study will test whether the addition of chemotherapy at that time will prolong the time until the cancer becomes unresponsive to hormonal therapy.
This is a multi-centre randomised trial comparing long course (LC) preoperative chemoradiation with short course (SC) preoperative radiotherapy for patients with localised T3 rectal cancer.
