PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Overall survival. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Progression-free survival. II. Objective tumor response. III. Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA)/quality of life (QOL) related objectives: IIIa. Hypothesize that lower scores in functional status assessment tool - instrumental

Pancreatic cancer continues to be a highly lethal disease with an overall 5 year survival of only 8%. Since 2004, the incidence of pancreatic cancer has been increasing by 1.5% per year and it is estimated that there will be 53,670 new cases diagnosed in the United States in 2017, with 43,090

Neoadjuvant therapy has become the consensus treatment for individuals with locally advanced unresectable disease and borderline resectable disease. Typical regimens utilize those that are used in the metastatic setting for pancreatic cancer, such as FOLFIRINOX (5-FU, Leucovorin, Irinotecan, and

Small cell lung cancer accounts for approximately 15% of all lung cancer diagnoses in the United States (US), with 60-80% response rates to platinum-based chemotherapy in extensive disease. Despite its sensitivity to chemotherapy, small cell lung cancer is characterized by its tendency to spread to

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a highly lethal disease. It is estimated that in 2010 there were approximately 43,140 new cases in the United States and 36,800 deaths which ranks fourth among cancer related deaths . At diagnosis, roughly 17,000 of the initial 43,000 patients have disease which

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) represents the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States, with an estimated 36,800 deaths attributable to PDAC in 2010.(1) Over 90% of patients have inoperable disease at presentation, at which point systemic therapy becomes the primary

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine whether the addition of erlotinib (erlotinib hydrochloride) to gemcitabine (gemcitabine hydrochloride) adjuvant chemotherapy shows a signal for improved survival as compared to gemcitabine alone following R0 or R1 resection of head of pancreas adenocarcinoma

OBJECTIVES: Primary - Evaluation of the efficacy of front-line treatment with sunitinib malate and FOLFIRI chemotherapy at 3 months in patients with rectal cancer and synchronous metastases deemed unresectable in a multidisciplinary consultation. Secondary - Evaluate the rate of resection of

Before the patients receive the palonosetron, a physical exam and blood tests are performed to determine eligibility. If eligible and willing, subjects are given Palonosetron intravenously. Subjects are given the Palonosetron and Dexamethasone 30 minutes before the first dose of Irinotecan and

Objectives of study are to determine activity of combo of Irinotecan + Temozolomide & to further characterize any toxicity associated w combo of Irinotecan + Temozolomide. Temozolomide administered orally at 200mg/m2 in fasting state 1hr prior to CPT-11 infusion. Temozolomide administered on day 1

We will undertake a prospective, longitudinal controlled study of fatigue and cognitive function in 120 patients with localized CRC who receive 5FU-based adjuvant chemotherapy. Each patient will be evaluated at baseline and at 6, 12 and 24 months for fatigue (using the FACT-F questionnaire) and for
