Filter by:RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill tumor cells. Internal radiation uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of capecitabine when given together with radiation therapy in treating patients with locally advanced cervical cancer or other pelvic cancer.
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. The use of genistein may be effective in preventing breast or endometrial cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase I trial is studying the effectiveness of genistein in preventing breast or endometrial cancer in healthy postmenopausal women.
The primary objective of this study is to assess disease-free survival at 4.5 years postoperatively for women with apparent Stage 1 endometrial cancer, comparing patients who are randomised to receive Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) and patients who are randomised to receive Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH).
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if RAD001 can shrink or slow the growth of tumors in patients who have recurrent endometrial cancer. The safety of this drug will also be studied. Objectives: Primary Objective: 1. To determine the efficacy of RAD001 in patients with progressive or recurrent endometrial cancer. Secondary Objective: 1. To determine the nature and degree of toxicity of RAD001 in this cohort of patients. 2. To characterize, in pre- and post- treatment tumor samples, when available, expression levels of total and phosphorylated mTOR (mammalian "target of rapamycin") as well as relevant upstream and downstream signaling components (optional).
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as pemetrexed disodium work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well pemetrexed disodium works in treating patients with persistent or recurrent endometrial cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well docetaxel works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent endometrial carcinoma (cancer).
This phase II trial studies how well temsirolimus works in treating patients with endometrial cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes and has come back after a period of time during which the cancer could not be detected. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of oxaliplatin in treating patients who have persistent or recurrent endometrial cancer.
RATIONALE: Hormone therapy using medroxyprogesterone may be effective in treating endometrioid cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well medroxyprogesterone works in treating patients with endometrioid adenocarcinoma (cancer) of the uterine corpus (the body of the uterus, not including the cervix).
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of perifosine in treating patients who have metastatic or locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma.
