Intestinal drug absorption appears to be a very complex process characterized by gastrointestinal transit, disintegration of dosage forms, drug dissolution within the intestinal lumen, active and passive uptake processes, mucosal metabolism (e.g. by cytochrome P450 (CYP), UGT, sulfotransferase
In this phase II study, the Investigators will combine metronomic capecitabine with digoxin to treat metastatic breast cancer patients who have progressed on both anthracyclines and taxanes. We hypothesize that the combination of digoxin with metronomic capecitabine may lead to increased efficacy
Breast cancer cells grow in a low oxygen environment called hypoxia. The body normally controls the amount of oxygen in cells with what is known as Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1. HIF-1 helps cancer cells grow in low oxygen environments; therefore, if this function can be blocked, it may make it
Scientific Background Anesthesia and surgery are stressful situations which cause neuro-endocrine, metabolic and neurological responses. Cancer surgery may cause a decrease in anti-angiogenic factors, and enable dissemination of tumor cells through manipulation of the tumor and it blood vessels, as
