Filter by:RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. Anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin may reduce the risk of blood clots. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus warfarin in treating patients who have prostate cancer.
To evaluate the trends in the incidence of venous thromboembolism, to determine the risk factors for venous thromboembolism in patients with medical and surgical illness, and to evaluate the efficacy of the anticoagulant therapy in reducing venous thromboembolism.
To determine the value of contrast enhanced spiral computed tomography (spiral CT) for the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism (PE).
To perform a randomized clinical trial comparing continuing one month of treatment with heparin in patients with deep venous thrombosis to standard care using heparin for five days and oral warfarin for three months.
To determine the genetic epidemiology, including genetic and environmental interactions of the multifactorial disease, venous thromboembolism (VTE).
To assess the interaction between hormone replacement therapy and the prothrombotic mutations, Factor V Leiden and the recently described prothrombin mutation (20210A) on the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in a population-based case-control study conducted at Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound (GHC).
To examine markers of underlying chronic inflammation and infection as potential risk factors for future myocardial infarction (MI), stroke (CVA), and venous thromboembolism (VTE) in plasma samples collected at baseline from healthy participants in the Physicians' Health Study (PHS).
To identify the incidence cohort of Olmsted County Minnesota residents with deep venous thrombosis (DVT)/pulmonary embolism (PE) from 1966 through 1990. Episodes of DVT or PE acquired during hospitalization or in the community were identified for future studies.
RATIONALE: Heparin or enoxaparin may be effective in preventing the formation of blood clots in patients with cancer who are undergoing surgery to remove the tumor. PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of heparin with that of enoxaparin in patients who have cancer.
A multicenter randomized, double blind placebo controlled trial to determine the efficacy of long-term, low dose warfarin in the secondary prevention of venous thromboembolism.
