Radiation Therapy (RT) and Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer with Homologous Recombination Deficiency That Has Spread to the Liver
Completed
The researchers are doing this study to test the combination of radiation therapy (RT) and low dose chemotherapy in people with metastatic pancreatic cancer that has a homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and has spread to the liver. The researchers will try to find the highest safe and effective dose of individualized dose-painted RT that can be given to the liver when combined with standard low dose chemotherapy. The conformal dose painted RT treatment plan will include higher doses of ra... Read More

Chemotherapy and Pelvic Radiation Therapy With or Without Additional Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With High-Risk Early-Stage Cervical Cancer After Radical Hysterectomy
Active Not Recruiting
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, paclitaxel, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy and radiation therapy are more effective when given with or without additional chemotherapy in treating cervical cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying chemotherapy... Read More

Acute Changes in Endothelial Function in Germ Cell Tumor Patients Treated With Cisplatin and Untreated Germ Cell Tumor Controls
Active Not Recruiting
Cisplatin is one of the most common chemotherapy drugs used to treat many different cancers, including germ cell tumors (GCT). Cisplatin is very effective in treating GCT, but there are side effects. One of the possible long-term side effects of cisplatin is thought to be heart disease. The way that cisplatin causes heart disease is not well understood. One possibility is that cisplatin may damage the inside layer of blood vessels called the endothelium. The purpose of this study is to measure c... Read More
