Abstract Text
Dr. Lawrence H. Einhorn will continue his studies in Clinical Cancer
Research through the Outstanding Investigator Grant. Pivotal studies
will continue to be done in patients with testicular cancer. Dr.
Einhorn and co-investigators will evaluate a new aggressive five drug
regimen as initial therapy for patients with advanced testicular cancer.
New and innovative approaches for salvage therapy of testicular cancer
will also be carefully studied. In addition, correlatives clinical
studies will be done evaluating antiemetics and hematopoietic growth
factors.
In addition, Dr. Einhorn and colleagues will continue to participate in
clinical trials for common malignancies such as colorectal cancer, lung
cancer, breast cancer, etc. Recognizing the importance of these trials
and the frequent necessity to perform them at the community level, Dr.
Einhorn helped form the consortium of community oncologist in Indiana
and surrounding areas called the Hoosier Oncology Group. Indiana
University is a research base for this organization and Dr. Einhorn is
the Chief Scientific Officer.
One of the exciting new areas of interest has been the development of a
new protocol in metastatic bladder cancer. This phase II study will
evaluate the combination of vinblastine + ifosfamide + gallium in
patients with metastatic bladder cancer.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
