Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Women With Breast Cancer Who Have Undergone Surgery
Unknown
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. It is not yet known which chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating women after surgery for breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of paclitaxel, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide with or without gemcitabine in treating women who have undergone surgery for breast cancer.

Neoadjuvant Epirubicin, Cyclophosphamide, and Paclitaxel With or Without Gemcitabine in Treating Women Who Are Undergoing Surgery for Early Breast Cancer
Unknown
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epirubicin, cyclophosphamide, paclitaxel, and gemcitabine use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving combination chemotherapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed during surgery. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating early breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying different regimens of combination chemo... Read More

Gemcitabine, Paclitaxel, Ifosfamide, and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Progressive or Relapsed Metastatic Germ Cell Tumors
Unknown
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gemcitabine when given together with paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin, and to see how well they work in treating patients with progressive or relapsed m...

Chemotherapy Plus Radiation Therapy With or Without Amifostine in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced Cancer of the Nasopharynx
Terminated
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 radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. Giving chemoprotective drugs such as amifostine may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of paclitaxel and carboplatin followed by c... Read More

ICON8: Weekly Chemotherapy in Ovarian Cancer
Unknown
The purpose of this study is to determine if weekly chemotherapy (i.e. giving paclitaxel or carboplatin at a lower dose every week) is more effective than standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin given once every three weeks over 18 weeks) in treating ovarian cancer. The investigators also want to see if weekly chemotherapy causes more or fewer side-effects than standard chemotherapy.
