Filter by:The investigators hypothesize that Guaraná, a native plant from the Amazon, might improve chemotherapy-induced fatigue in breast cancer patients undergoing treatment. In order to assess this, the investigators randomized patients to either guaraná extract or to placebo, switching the assigned treatment mid-term through the cycles of Chemotherapy.
The aim of this study is to determine whether greater rectal cancer downstaging and regression occurs when surgery is delayed to 12 weeks after completion of radiotherapy/chemotherapy compared to 6 weeks. Hypothesis: Greater downstaging and tumour regression is observed when surgery is delayed to 12 weeks after completion of CRT compared to 6 weeks.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the overall survival (OS) of oral linifanib given as monotherapy once daily (QD) compared to sorafenib given twice daily (BID) per standard of care in subjects with advanced or metastatic HCC.
To determine the highest dose of study drug that can be taken without causing serious side effects in patients with advanced cancer. The study will look at safety of the study drug and whether the treatment schedule is tolerated by patients.
The study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of 2 treatment types for the prevention of tumor recurrence of superficial bladder cancer: 1. A combination of bladder wall heating and local chemotherapy (Synergo) 2. Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)
The intent of this protocol is to screen a new agent for activity in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma. This phase II trial is studying how well pemetrexed disodium works in treating patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States. Breast cancer research has been hampered by the difficulty in collecting normal breast tissue. In this study, researchers will obtain samples of normal breast tissue from organ donors and will collect risk-factor data from next-of-kin. The purpose of this study is to learn how normal breast develops and responds to stresses that are known to increase a woman s chance of developing breast cancer. Following the breast-tissue donation from 20 volunteers, surgical technicians will make small incisions in the skin and tissue of the breast and remove several samples measuring about one-inch. Technicians also will take samples of the uterine lining to estimate the date of the last menstrual period. The tissue will then be sent to the National Cancer Institute for laboratory research studies. Steps will be taken to ensure that the identity of the participants remains confidential.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational chemotherapy agent in patients with advanced breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational chemotherapy agent in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
