This trial tests adding a blood pressure medicine (propranolol) to standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery for locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This study tests whether a blood-pressure medication called propranolol can protect your heart during and after breast cancer surgery. You'd take it before surgery and continue for a period afterward to see if it reduces heart damage.
This Phase 2 study tests medicines given around the time of colon or rectal cancer surgery to help lower the chance the cancer will later spread to other parts of the body. If you are planned for curative (potentially curable) surgery and have no signs of spread yet, the trial may help prevent future metastases.
This trial tests whether giving two common medications before and after surgery can slow the growth of ovarian cancer. The medications may help reduce stress signals that could make cancer spread faster during surgery.
This trial tests if adding propranolol (a blood pressure medicine) to standard hormone therapy before prostate removal surgery helps treat high-risk prostate cancer. It is for patients who also have mild to moderate high blood pressure.
