Brief Summary: RATIONALE Dalteparin may be effective in inhibiting the growth of blood vessels in tumors decreasing the risk of metastatic cancer preventing the formation of blood clots and improving quality of life in treating patients with advanced cancer that has not responded to previous treatment It is not yet known if standard therapy is more effective with or without dalteparin in treating advanced breast lung colorectal and prostate cancer

PURPOSE Randomized double blinded phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of standard therapy with or without dalteparin in treating patients who have advanced breast lung colorectal or prostate cancer that has not responded to previous chemotherapy or hormone therapy
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Compare the effect of low molecular weight heparin dalteparin plus standard therapy versus standard therapy alone on the overall survival rate of patients with advanced cancers II Compare the toxic effects of these regimens and the effect on the quality of life of these patients III Assess the incidence of symptomatic thrombotic events such as deep venous thrombosis DVT pulmonary embolus PE and clotted catheters in these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized study Patients are stratified according to prognostic index good vs bad vs unsure current therapy systemic vs radiation vs both vs none age 50 or under vs over 50 disease site breast vs colon vs small cell lung vs nonsmall cell lung vs prostate history of prior thrombotic event over 1 year ago yes vs no and gender Patients are randomized to receive low molecular weight heparin dalteparin plus standard therapy or standard therapy alone
