Studying a New Cancer Therapy for Advanced Solid Tumors

X-PACT is a new cancer treatment that uses a drug called psoralen and a low dose of X-rays. This study wants to see if this treatment is safe and helpful for patients. Volunteers need to have advanced head and neck cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, breast cancer, melanoma, or other solid tumors that didn't get better with other treatments.

Studying Chemo Before Surgery for Abdominal Sarcoma

The purpose of this study is to learn more about giving chemotherapy before surgery for a type of cancer called retroperitoneal sarcoma. We want to see if this helps lower the chance of the cancer coming back. We will compare two groups: one that gets surgery only and one that gets chemotherapy first and then surgery. This will help doctors learn which treatment works better in the future.

Using NK Cells to Treat Sarcoma

The purpose of this study is to find better treatments in the future for children with cancer. We want to create a large collection of blood and tissue samples from children cancer to help doctors learn more about how cancer and the immune system work together. Information from this study may help us find better ways to treat cancer in the future. We are looking for volunteers who have been diagnosed with any type of pediatric cancer and are under the care of a doctor at Atrium Health.

Studying Radiation vs Usual Care for Cancer that Spread to Bones

The purpose of this study is to help patients who have cancer that has spread to their bones but is not causing pain yet. We want to find out if giving radiation therapy before symptoms start can help prevent problems from bone cancer. Volunteers in this study will either get the usual care or the usual care plus radiation. The goal is to see which option works better to stop bone problems like fractures or spinal cord issues.
