Progression of breast neoplasia is characterized by a variety of causal and nonspecific molecular, karyotypic, and cellular level genetic alterations. These include allelic losses, chromosomal rearrangements, and aneusomies, as well as widely divergent clonal DNA content aberrations. Establishment o

β¦ Synopsis
Well-designed and conducted Phase 11 clinical trials are very important to cancer chemoprevention drug development. Three critical aspects govern the design and conduct of these trials-wellcharacterized agents, suitable cohorts, and reliable biomarkers for measuring efficacy that can serve as surrogate endpoints for cancer incidence.
Requirements for the agent are experimental or epidemiological data showing chemopreventive efficacy, safety on chronic administration, and a mechanistic rationale for the chemopreventive activity observed. Agents that meet these criteria for chemoprevention of cervical cancer include antiproliferative

Current chemoprevention trial designs based on epidemiological risk assessment and occurrence of cancer as an endpoint are inefficient and expensive. Novel biomarkers are needed to facilitate the development of chemopreventive interventions. The following four categories of biomarkers may be useful
The objective of a phase II cancer clinical trial is to screen a treatment that can produce a similar or better response rate compared to the current treatment results. This screening is usually carried out in two stages as proposed by Simon. For ineffective treatment, the trial should terminate at
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. A phase 2 trial of gemcitabine and capecitabine (GemCap) in patients with advanced biliary cancer led to an objective response in approximately 30% of patients and a median survival of 14 months. In the current study, the authors report further efficacy data of a larger
## Abstract There is no standard therapy for relapsed small cell lung cancer (rSCLC). We evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of a new triplet consisting of irinotecan (100 mg/m^2^ Days 1 and 15 q28), cisplatin (40 mg/m^2^ Days 1 and 15 q28) and mitomycin (6 mg/m^2^ d1 q28) administered to a maximum
## Abstract A phase II trial of etoposide and cisplatin for patients with previously treated small cell lung cancer was carried out by CALGB from June 1983 to May 1984. Thirtyβfive evaluable patients who had failed one prior chemotherapy regimen were treated with etoposide 80 mg/m^2^ and cisplatin
