NCT ID NCT01946854
Summary
This study aims to find out if standard chemotherapy drugs can slow the growth of a rare abdominal cancer called appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Thirty patients who cannot have complete surgery will either receive chemotherapy first or be observed first, with their tumor growth measured over 12 months. The goal is to see if chemotherapy makes a meaningful difference in controlling this slow-growing cancer.
