All ancillary treatments, as appropriate for symptom control and
cancer therapy, may be administered as clinically indicated with
the exception of treatment for hot flashes. Although, at the time
of study entry, patients with current or planned therapy with
antineoplastic chemotherapy, androgens, estrogens, progestational
agents, or corticosteroids are not eligible for this study. If,
during the conduct of this study, any of these agents become clinically
appropriate, they may then be given (record reason clearly on
the Nurse Work Sheet, comment section (Appendix
V or Appendix
VII). If these agents need to be administered, the patient
will be excluded from the primary analysis as of that date.
