Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the ECF regimen (epirubicin, cisplatin and FU) combined with endostar-- a inhibitor of angiogenesis, in patients with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer (A/MGC).
This is a randomized phase II multicenter controlled study of oxaliplatin, calcium folinate, and 5-fluorouracil (mFOLFOX7) as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for resectable advanced gastric cancer. Hypothesis: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy may improve 5 year overall survival compared with the control.
The intent of the proposed study is to describe the prevalence of the most common recurring mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, blmAsh , and the A636P MSH2 mutation among Ashkenazi Jewish individuals with a variety of cancer diagnoses. If a substantial proportion of these samples contain such mutations, future patients presenting with these diseases may wish to undergo genetic counseling and, if appropriate, formal genetic testing. The benefit from such a process would pertain mainly to the families of these individuals.
This study is an open-label, single center, and a single arm phase II study to evaluate the clinical response and safety of perioperative S-1 plus docetaxel. Perioperative chemotherapy is composed of 3 cycles of preoperative S-1/docetaxel and 3 cycles of postoperative S-1/docetaxel.Chemotherapy regimen: - S-1 80 mg/m2/day every 12-h p.o. on days 1(evening)-15 (morning) - Docetaxel 35 mg/m2 mixed in d5w 250 ml iv over 60-min on days 1 and 8
The purpose of this study is to establish a gastric cancer registry. A registry is a database of information. With the registry, we can learn more about the genetic causes of gastric cancer in order to develop better methods of early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of gastric cancers. As part of this study, you will be asked to join a registry of families who are affected with various forms of gastric cancer. These registries are important because they may help physicians better manage gastric cancer now and in the future. Participating in the Early Onset and Familial Gastric Cancer Registry can also be educational for families, since it will provide important information to patients, families, and physicians. All of this will help to further our understanding of genetic causes of gastric cancer and eventually, help determine better ways to diagnose, treat, and survey patients with gastric cancer and people who may have a higher risk for gastric cancer.
This study is an open-label, single-center, and randomized phase II study designed to evaluate each efficacy and safety of S-1 and capecitabine in the elderly and/or poor performance status patients with recurrent or metastatic gastric cancer. The randomization will be stratified by age (70-85 years versus 65 years and < 70 years) and performance status, which is dependent on age group; in 70-85 years, ECOG performance status 0-1 versus 2 and in ³65 years and <70 years, ECOG performance status 2 versus 3. - S-1 40mg/m2 orally twice daily on days 1 (evening) - 15 (morning) - Capecitabine 1250mg/m2 orally twice daily on days 1 (evening) - 15 (morning) Treatment will be administered every 3 weeks and will be continued in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The drug that you are taking for your cancer, imatinib (GleevecTM), has recently been shown to have some new types of side effects. In some people, imatinib can affect how bones are made. The purpose of this study is to find out if imatinib is causing these side effects in you. We can check how your bones form by testing your blood and urine. We can also check your bone strength by doing a special X-ray of your bone called bone density (or DEXA scan).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of weekly docetaxol combined with cisplatin and 5-Fu in patients with AGC.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and overall survival of the regimen of XELOX (Xeloda and oxaliplatin combination) in the patients with relapsed and refractory gastric cancer.
The goal of this study is to study NIS expression in benign and malignant breast and thyroid samples using archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections.
