The causes of mediastinal lymphadenopathy include infection, reactive lymphadenopathy, granulomatous disorders, and malignancy (metastases from various primaries, lymphoma, thymoma, neurogenic tumours). Radiological appearances are usually inadequate at providing a definitive diagnosis. In

Sunitinib (Sutent®; Pfizer, New York, NY, USA) is a multitargeted tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) with activity against the stem cell-factor receptor (KIT) and platelet-derived growth-factor receptor (PDGFR), vascular endothelial growth-factor receptor (VEGFR), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the recommended phase II dose of PTX-200 (triciribine phosphate) given on days 1, 8, and 15 every 28 days (maximum of 9 doses) when combined with weekly paclitaxel (80 mg/m^2) for 12 weeks in patients with metastatic breast cancer. (Phase I and Expansion Cohort)

In the United States, an estimated 222,520 lung and bronchus cancers will be diagnosed in 2010, and 157,300 people will die of this disease. Therefore, there is an urgent need for safer and more effective therapies for lung cancer.1 Lung cancer falls into two major classifications, non-small cell

Objectives 1. To demonstrate the presence of NE in vitro and the entrance into lung adenocarcinoma cells 2. To identify the intracellular mechanisms through which NE mediates its tumor proliferating effects 3. To verify the activation of NE and its related pathway component in clinical lung

Thymic carcinomas are particularly more concerning due to their aggressive metastatic nature and shorter overall survival, in comparison to their lesser-malignant thymoma counterparts. This necessitates the need for systemic therapy. Due to the paucity of thymic carcinoma cases, the ideal regimen

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the tolerability and maximum tolerated dose of Sorafenib (sorafenib tosylate) when given orally in combination with Bevacizumab in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). (Phase I) II. To estimate the objective response rate of advanced RCC receiving the
