Paclitaxel or Docetaxel in Treating Women With Advanced Breast Cancer
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel is more effective than docetaxel for breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel or docetaxel in treating women with stage IIIB or metastatic breast cancer.

Chemotherapeutic Agents in Brain/Breast
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Studying s... Read More

Combination Chemotherapy Followed by Surgery in Treating Patients With Stage IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Completed
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. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with irinotecan and cisplatin followed by surgery in treating patients with stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.

Abraxane/Bevacizumab
Terminated
The protocol will study the effect of the combination of two drugs-Abraxane and Bevacizumab-on a subject's ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. This study drug combination will be given to subjects who have already been treated for their cancer with other chemotherapy, and now their cancer has become worse or has come back again. Neither one of these study drugs has been approved by the FDA for treatment in these three types of cancer.

Combination Chemotherapy Plus Radiation Therapy With or Without Fluorouracil in Treating Patients With Cancer of the Esophagus or Stomach
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy with and without fluorouracil in treating patients who have cancer of the esophagus or stomach.

A Phase II Safety and Tolerability Study of Bevacizumab When Added to Single-agent Chemotherapy to Treat Patient With Breast Cancer Metastatic to Brain
Terminated
Our hypothesis is that this study design, in which bevacizumab is added to one of six single agent chemotherapies with proven activity in metastatic breast cancer, will result in regression or stabilization of this disease in a safe and tolerable manner.
