Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Current therapies for Cancer of the Small Intestine provide very limited benefit to the patient. The anti-cancer properties of Antineoplaston therapy suggest that it may prove beneficial in the treatment of Cancer of the Small Intestine. PURPOSE: This study is being performed to determine the effects (good and bad) that Antineoplaston therapy has on patients with Cancer of the Small Intestine.
