Overexpression of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) or other cytidine deaminases causes high rates of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage (mutations, double strand DNA breaks, and chromosome rearrangements) in a high number of patients with B-cell malignancies, such as NHL, MM, and CLL, and
Preclinical studies have demonstrated that nab-paclitaxel may play a role in sensitizing the tumor to chemotherapeutic agents and specifically increases the antitumor efficacy when combined with gemcitabine. While the mechanism of action for the synergy is unclear, preclinical studies have generated
BACKGROUND
Much of the clinical practice of oncology involves palliative care. In this setting ,the emphasis is on alleviation of symptoms and preservation or improvement of quality of life. A large body of clinical evidence documents the effectiveness of local-field external beam radiotherapy in
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate objective response rate by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria of the combination of azacitidine (5-AZA) and entinostat in women with advanced breast cancer; triple-negative and hormone-refractory.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine
Background:
5-Fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine (FdCyd), a fluoropyrimidine nucleoside analog, has a short (10-minute) half-life and is rapidly degraded in vivo by cytidine deaminase. However, coadministration with tetrahydrouridine (THU), an inhibitor of cytidine/deoxycytidine deaminase, has been shown to
