Combination Chemotherapy and Filgrastim or Pegfilgrastim in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Persistent Cancer of the Uterus

Study:

A Phase II Evaluation Of Docetaxel And Gemcitabine Plus G-CSF In The Treatment Of Recurrent Or Persistent Leiomyosarcoma Of The Uterus

Rationale:

Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim or pegfilgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person`s immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy.

Purpose:

This phase II trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy plus filgrastim or pegfilgrastim works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent cancer of the uterus.
