Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Cryoablation kills cancer cells by freezing them. Giving chemotherapy together with cryoablation may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving cyclophosphamide together with cryoablation works in treating patients with advanced or metastatic epithelial cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Safety, in terms of absences of severe adverse events (SAE) and unacceptable toxicity [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Tumor response, according to RECIST criteria [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment:	23
Study Start Date:	June 2007
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	July 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Document radiologic and/or tumor marker response to cryotherapy of tumor lesions followed by cyclophosphamide.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot study.

Patients undergo percutaneous biopsy of the targeted lesion prior to cryoablation. Patients then undergo percutaneous or open cryotherapy of the largest or most accessible lesion on day 0. On day 3, patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour.

Tumor markers (if applicable) are assessed at baseline and monthly during study until marker progression.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically for up to 3 years.

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years and older
