Study Summary

The hypothesis of this study is that paclitaxel levels increase chromosomal instability (CIN) in tumors and this is lethal to tumors that have pre-existing CIN. Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis. Paclitaxel will be initiated as standard infusions on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 21-day cycle. Participants will continue with paclitaxel for cycles 2-4 prior to surgery.

Primary Outcome

To test if high cancers with high chromosomal instability (CIN) respond to paclitaxel better than low CIN cancers. Response determined by the percent decrease in linear measurement of tumor size on the greatest dimension per RECIST-like criteria
