Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Faslodex (fulvestrant) to Nolvadex (tamoxifen) as first-line treatment for postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer. Patients will be treated until disease progression or until the investigator has determined that treatment is not in the best interest of the patient, whichever occurs first.
Radiofrequency ablation has achieved impressive results in the treatment of unresectable primary and metastatic liver cancer. Animal studies have demonstrated that radiofrequency can fully ablate lung tumors in animal models. We set up a prospective study to evaluate the local efficacy of radiofrequency ablation of lung neoplasms. The aim of the study is to prospectively evaluate local efficacy with a minimal follow-up of one year, tolerance, lung disease-free survival and survival after radiofrequency ablation of lung tumors (primary lung cancer or lung metastases).
The standard treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer is based on systemic chemotherapy. Several effective drugs are currently available and can be administered either sequentially or in combination. Most patients receive 2 or 3 lines of chemotherapy. The aim of this randomized trial is to evaluate the potential benefit of a bitherapy with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and oxaliplatin as first line chemotherapy compared with a sequential chemotherapy with 5-FU alone as first line chemotherapy followed by the combination of 5-FU with oxaliplatin in case of progressive disease, in terms of progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
This study is intended to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and possible effectiveness of an investigational humanized monoclonal antibody (CAL) to the parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) when compared to zoledronic acid in patients with breast cancer metastatic to bone. The study will also evaluate the possible effects of both study drugs on performance status, markers of bone metabolism, and skeletal events related to bone metastasis including elevated blood calcium levels, bone pain, metastatic lesions, complications and interventions. The levels of CAL in the blood will also be evaluated.
