Lung Cancer Trial Results
16. Surgery Helps Relieve Spinal Cord Compression Caused by Metastatic Cancer
(Posted: 06/02/2003, Updated: 08/23/2005) - Surgery followed by radiation is more effective than radiation alone in treating spinal cord compression caused by metastatic cancer.
17. Frozen Glove Reduces Skin and Nail Damage from Docetaxel Chemotherapy
(Posted: 08/01/2005) - Patients who wore an experimental "frozen glove" to keep their hands very cold during intravenous chemotherapy with docetaxel (Taxotere®) had much less subsequent damage to the nails and skin of their hands, according to a study published in the July 1, 2005, issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
18. Low-Dose Aspirin Fails to Protect Women Against Cancer
(Posted: 07/27/2005) - Low-dose aspirin taken every other day failed to protect women from developing cancer, according to results from a 10-year, randomized trial called the Women's Health Study. However, researchers say that more studies are needed to determine whether moderate or high doses of aspirin may yet prove protective.
19. Vitamin E Does Not Protect Women Against Cancer
(Posted: 07/27/2005) - Vitamin E supplements do not protect healthy women age 45 or older against cancer, according to the 10-year, randomized Women's Health Study. However, it remains unclear whether vitamin E might yet prove protective in other groups of people.
20. Study Fails to Confirm That Irinotecan is Superior in Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
(Posted: 05/14/2005) - In contrast to earlier findings, irinotecan and cisplatin were no better than the standard treatment at helping patients with extensive small-call lung cancer live longer, according to findings presented at the 2005 meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
