Filter by:The aim of the study is to investigate the feasibility of in vivo single volume MR spectroscopy in evaluation of treatment response in patients with brain metastases, using 3T MR instrument. In order to optimize and avoid ineffective treatment of patients with brain metastases, in vivo MR spectroscopy can be an useful tool.
The purpose is to characterize tumour biological markers in brain metastases tissue from patients with different primary tumour by using ex vivo techniques as high-resolution magic angle spinning MR spectroscopy and micro array.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Irinotecan may also increase the effectiveness of gemcitabine. Giving irinotecan together with gemcitabine may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving irinotecan together with gemcitabine works in treating patients with recurrent or progressive stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer. Sorafenib may stop the growth of small cell lung cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Radiotherapy is treatment of choice for inoperable lung cancer. Research has shown that the local control rate is low and the radiation often causes pneumonitis and/or esophagitis. To predict to lung damage the mean lung dose can be calculated. This allows us to give a higher total dose to the tumor and to improve the local control rate. Study hypothesis: It will be safe to administer a radiation dose as high as possible to the tumor, taking into account the mean lung dose, calculated by the treatment planning system.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the adminstration of celecoxib, a cox2-inhibitor in patients with stage II-III non small cell lung cancer receiving radical radiotherapy. The hypothesis is that celecoxib will increase the remission rate of radiotherapy.
In this study we try to increase the radiation dose, while reducing or keeping the radiation schedule below 4 weeks. The study hypothesis is that it is feasible to administer hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy to patients with inoperable or locally advanced non small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of the study is to describe the regional and global FDG-kinetics in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) during percutaneous radiation therapy.
Study will deteremine the MTD and evaluate the safety profile of oral lenalidomide on days 1-14 when combined with pemetrexed on day 1 of a 21 days cycle. Subjects will continue on study until documention of disease progression.
Subjects who qualify will receive single agent lenalidomide once daily on days 1-21 of 28 day cycles. Subjects will continue until disease progression is documented.
