NCT ID: NCT00152087 Recruiting - Liver Cancer Clinical Trials

A Non-Randomized Study of Internal Radiation Therapy to the Liver in Patients With Primary Liver Cancer for Whom Surgery is Not Possible.

Start date: October 2002
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Surgical resection of the affected liver offers the best chance for disease-free survival in patients with Hepatoma (HCC). Unfortunately, most hepatoma patients present with disease which is multi-focal and thus not resectable. Fewer than 15% of HCC patients are resectable. The objective of treatment with TheraSphere is to selectively administer a dose of radioactive material directly to neoplastic tissue in the liver. Systemic therapy is largely ineffective.

NCT ID: NCT00034216 Recruiting - Breast Cancer Clinical Trials

Collection of Blood From Patients With Cancer

Start date: July 16, 2002
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study will collect blood from patients with cancer to study the level of cells which decrease the immune response (suppressor cells) before and after chemotherapy. Patients 18 years of age and older with cancer may participate. This study does not involve treatment. Participants will have about 50 ml (3 tablespoonfuls) of blood drawn. Depending on their condition, patients may be invited to enroll in a clinical research study involving chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery. Additional 40-ml blood samples may be drawn during the course of treatment.
