Filter by:RATIONALE: Testosterone may lessen weight loss and improve muscle size and strength in patients with cachexia caused by cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase I trial is studying whether testosterone administered during standard of care chemotherapy and/or radiation works by helping patients with squamous cell carcinoma to maintain their body weight and muscle size and strength during treatment.
This is an interdisciplinary study that falls into the Humanitarian Use Device category. There are no hypotheses to be tested in this treatment protocol. The study has the following objectives: 1. Provide supervised access to treatment with TheraSphere® to eligible patients with primary cancer to the liver who are not surgical resection candidates. 2. Evaluate patient experience and toxicities associated with TheraSphere® treatment. 3. Measure tumor response rates
A retrospective medical record abstraction study of at least 200 advanced renal cell carcinoma patients treated in the following settings: - Patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma treated with Sorafenib (Nexavar) as second-line therapy after Sunitinib (Sutent) or Bevacizumab (Avastin) for first-line therapy (about 100 patients) - Patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma treated with Sorafenib (Nexavar) as first-line therapy followed by Sunitinib (Sutent) as second-line therapy (about 100 patients)
The purpose of this study is to estimate and define the mean number, degree of confluence, and depth of penetration of melanocytes in chronically sun exposed skin of the head and neck using Mart-1 immunostains on frozen sections. The study was conducted to confirm whether similar results were found using permanent sections. The present study used hematoxaline and eosin (H&E) staining as well as Mart-1 staining, and included patients from both Mayo Clinic Jacksonville and Rochester.
Objective of this study is to increase knowledge about safety, tolerability, quality of life and efficacy under conditions of routine use of sunitinib.
The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of belinostat in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with previously untreated carcinoma of unknown primary.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AMG 386, in combination with Sorafenib, is effective in the treatment of advanced or inoperable Hepatocellular cancer in subjects who have not received any prior systemic therapy except surgery or locoregional therapy. Disease status and disease progression will be assessed every 8 weeks. Subjects will remain on treatment until: progressive disease by RECIST criteria; clinical progression; death or loss to follow-up; or withdrawal of informed consent.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of bevacizumab and pemetrexed have an effect on recurrent ovarian and primary peritoneal carcinoma by looking at progression and survival at 6 months.
Our study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for treatment of actinic cheilitis (AC) and as an adjunct to Mohs surgery for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) on the lips. This study will utilize an FDA approved PDT modality (DUSA, Inc., Wilmington, MA 01887) using topical 5-amino-levulinic acid (ALA) for photosensitization followed by exposure to a Blu-U light source emitting 405-420nm wavelength light.
This study is open to patients with primary HCC who cannot be treated by potentially curative treatment modalities, such as surgical resection, liver transplantation or percutaneous ablation. Patients that satisfy the study eligibility criteria will be randomised in a 1: 1 ratio to receive either Radioembolisation with SIR-Spheres Microspheres or the standardised Transarterial Chemoembolisation procedure. Study Objectives This study will evaluate and compare quality of life as well as safety and efficacy of RE or TACE in patients with unresectable HCC. Patients will be followed for a minimum of 12 months or until death wherever possible in the evaluation of the primary and secondary objectives of this study.
