PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To reduce therapy associated toxicity for patients with non-metastatic hepatoblastoma (HB) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) without adversely affecting long term outcomes.
II. To determine the event-free survival (EFS) in patients with HB whose tumor is completely resected
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the objective response rate (ORR), partial remissions (PR), and complete remissions (CR) after 3 cycles of bortezomib plus ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide (ICE) (BICE) versus ICE in patients with relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL).
II. To
We will conduct a prospective trial to verify the validity of indices utilizing TGF-b1, NF-kB, PET/CT, and MRS for predicting response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in osteosarcoma patients. We assume that changes in plasma TGF-b1 levels, PET/CT and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) findings
OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the feasibility, tolerability, and toxicities, in terms of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), of the sequential combination of vorinostat (SAHA) followed by cytarabine and etoposide in patients with relapsed and/or refractory acute leukemia or transforming myelodysplastic
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the clinical response rate (complete and partial) in patients with sporadic or neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)-associated high-grade stage III or IV malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) after treatment with 4 courses of chemotherapy comprising doxorubicin
OBJECTIVES:
- Register all children < 12 months of age diagnosed with neuroblastoma.
- Evaluate possible prognostic factors in these patients with particular reference to the collection of biological material.
- Correlate outcome with factors other than stage in these patients.
- Determine criteria
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of tipifarnib when given in combination with induction therapy comprising cytarabine, daunorubicin, and etoposide followed by consolidation therapy comprising high-dose cytarabine in patients with newly diagnosed high-risk acute myeloid
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the response rate in children with Wilms' tumor treated with pre-operative chemotherapy.
- Compare the response rate in children with intermediate-risk stage II or III Wilms' tumor treated with or without doxorubicin after surgery.
- Determine the prognostic significance of
BACKGROUND:
- Lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG) is an angiocentric destructive proliferation of lymphoid cells predominantly involving the lungs, skin, kidneys, and central nervous system.
- It is divided into three grades, depending on the degree of necrosis and cellular atypia. The grades of
OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the efficacy of three intensification regimens (doxorubicin vs doxorubicin plus ifosfamide vs doxorubicin plus ifosfamide and etoposide) in patients with newly diagnosed, previously untreated, nonmetastatic osteosarcoma. II. Determine the effect of postoperative dose
OBJECTIVES:
- Compare the value of dexamethasone (DM) vs prednisolone (PRDL) administered during induction therapy, in terms of event-free and overall survival, in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (LNHL).
- Assess the value of increasing the
