Filter by:There are four capital reconstructions after total gastrectomy which is widely used in China. Life quality is the only standard to evaluate postoperative results of different reconstructions. In order to determine the best reconstruction after total gastrectomy, we designed this study to compare life qualities of four reconstructions.
The purpose of this study is to determine which Arm (capecitabine + irinotecan versus capecitabine + cisplatin) shows higher response rates in the treatment of advanced gastric-oesophagal cancer Furthermore, comparison of progression-free survival, 1-year survival, Quality of Life and safety
- To assess the radiological response, curative resection rate of preoperative docetaxel/cisplatin/capecitabine(DCX). - To correlate treatment response with serum RUNX3 promoter hypermethylation. - To determine the toxicities of preoperative DCX - To determine the time to progression/overall survival of preoperative DCX
This is a Phase II open-label study to determine the anti-tumor efficacy and tolerability of FOLFOX in combination with bevacizumab (Avastin(TM))in patients with metastatic or unresectable gastroesophageal and gastric adenocarcinoma. Our primary objective is to determine the time to progression in patients treated with FOLFOX in combination with bevacizumab.
RATIONALE: A stop-smoking plan that includes health education counseling and bupropion may help African-American smokers stop smoking. It is not yet known whether health education counseling is more effective with or without bupropion in helping African Americans stop smoking. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying health education counseling and bupropion to see how well they work compared with a placebo and health education counseling in helping African Americans smokers stop smoking.
This study is to investigate safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy profile of sorafenib in combination with S-1 plus cisplatin in Asian patients with unresectable / recurrent gastric cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tri-weekly ABI-007 for recurrence or unresectable gastric cancer patients who have received one prior regimen containing fluoropyrimidine and developed disease progression or recurrence.
Cancer is a well known risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE) such as deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Today we know that patients with adenocarcinomas of the gastro intestinal tract (GI-tract) often is in a hypercoagulable state. In our observational study we collect patients admitted to department with a tentative diagnosis of upper GI cancer including pancreas cancer and offer them flow doppler ultrasounds of both legs for diagnosis of DVT in the entire treatment time. The routine CT-scan of the chest is modified to diagnose PE. This will be compared with blood samples analysed for coagulation markers including D-dimer - a fibrinogen degradation product.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, fluorouracil, and leucovorin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of irinotecan when given together with fluorouracil and leucovorin in treating patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer.
The purpose of this study is compare overall survival of the test arm (CPT-11/S-1 combination) to the control arm (CPT-11 alone) in the subjects with S-1 refractory advanced gastric cancer.
