CapTem Plus Radioembolization for NET Liver Metastases
Recruiting
Grade 2 neuroendocrine tumors have an intermediate rate of progression following embolotherapy of liver metastases. The combination of capecitabine and temozolomide has been shown to be an active regimen in this disease. Both drugs are radiosensitizers, and in a safety and feasibility study were combined with yttrium-90 radioembolization with acceptable additive toxicities and better than expected response and duration of disease control. This study expands use of this regimen in a Phase 2 inves... Read More

CyberKnife Dose Escalation Prostate Cancer Trial
Recruiting
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has been employed in the treatment of prostate cancer. Multiple single institution experiences suggest high biochemical control rates with acceptable toxicity in low risk prostate cancer but efficacy data in unfavorable type prostate cancer is less convincing. CyberKnife-SBRT (CK-SBRT) can be used to escalate radiation dose delivery to the prostate while sparing normal tissue.
