Amifostine Followed by High Dose Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Hematologic Cancer or Solid...
Breast CancerDrug/Agent Toxicity by Tissue/Organ5 moreRATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Chemoprotective drugs such as amifostine may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of amifostine followed by high-dose chemotherapy in treating patients with hematologic cancer or solid tumors.

Cervical CancerChronic Myeloproliferative Disorders8 moreRATIONALE: The use of dalteparin may be able to prevent complications caused by the use of a catheter to supply chemotherapy to cancer patients. It is not yet known if dalteparin is effective in reducing these complications. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of dalteparin in preventing catheter-related complications in cancer patients who are receiving chemotherapy through a catheter.
CBT on Fatigue in Survivors of Hodgkin Lymphoma
Hodgkin LymphomaFatigueBackground: Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common patient-reported impairments in survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma and is associated with adverse effects on psychological well-being and everyday life including family, work and social participation. Methods: The investigators here present a bi-centric (Cologne and Leipzig) pilot-study for a web-based intervention (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) on cancer-related fatigue. In detail, the investigators will conduct a non-randomized and non-controlled before-and-after study in a minimum of 20 survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma. Levels of fatigue and quality of life will be measured before the intervention (T0), post-intervention (T1) and at 3-months follow-up (T2). Results: The investigators will provide information regarding the feasibility of the intervention (i.e., response rate, patient and therapist adherence, and patient satisfaction) and preliminary results on the efficacy of the program in reducing CRF and increasing levels of quality of life. Aims: The results of this pilot-study will provide essential information to conduct a future randomized clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of this intervention in reducing cancer-related fatigue in survivors with Hodgkin lymphoma.
