Filter by:Hypothesis: Radiosensitization using Xeloda should improve the rate of complete pain relief. Primary Objective: - To determine the frequency of pain relief for the proposed regimen. Secondary Objective(s): - To determine the duration of pain relief and narcotic relief for the proposed regimen. - To determine the frequency of narcotic relief for the proposed regimen. - To determine the toxicity of concurrent UFT and radiotherapy in patients with bone metastases.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between SDF-1/CXCR4 and metastasis of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas.
This is a research study to look at the ways in which a treatment called INGN241 can kill melanoma cells or help the patient's immune system kill melanoma cells.
RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers radiation directly to the area where a tumor was surgically removed may kill any remaining tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying radiation therapy to see how well it works in treating patients who are undergoing surgery to remove a metastatic brain tumor.
RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses light and photosensitizing drugs to kill tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for refractory brain tumors. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of photodynamic therapy using porfimer sodium in treating patients with refractory brain tumors, including astrocytoma, ependymoma, and medulloblastoma.
