Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. * Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent prior to study-specific screening procedures, with the understanding that the patient has the right to withdraw from the study at any time, without prejudice. * Have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to initiation of chemotherapy (female patients of childbearing potential). * Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. * Fully recovered from any surgical procedure Exclusion Criteria: * Lactating woman unwilling to stop breast feeding for the duration of study participation and 30 days from the date of the last study drug administration * History of allergy to any of the chemotherapeutics or antiemetics appropriate for administration in conjunction with protocol-directed chemotherapy. * Prior unanticipated severe reaction to fluoropyrimidine therapy, known hypersensitivity to 5-fluorouracil, or known DPD deficiency. * Serious, uncontrolled, intercurrent infection(s) or illnesses including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, or unstable angina pectoris, or cardiac arrhythmia. * Treatment for other carcinomas within the last five years, except cured non-melanoma skin and treated in-situ cervical cancer. * Current, recent (within 4 weeks of first infusion on this study) or planned participation in an investigational drug study. * Patients with documented DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation). * Patients with a previous history of a bleeding diathesis or significant bleeding episode such as gastrointestinal bleeding or a CNS hemorrhage. * Clinically significant cardiac disease (e.g. congestive heart failure, symptomatic coronary artery disease and cardiac arrhythmias not well controlled with medication) within the last 12 months. * Presence of central nervous system or brain mets. * Major surgery, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to Day 1, or anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study. * Unwillingness to participate or inability to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study. * Minor surgical procedures, fine needle aspirations or core biopsies within 7 days prior to Day 1. * Blood pressure \> 150/100 mmHg. * Unstable angina. * New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade II or greater congestive heart failure. * History of myocardial infarction or stroke within 6 months. * Clinically significant peripheral vascular disease. * Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy. * History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation or intrabdominal abscess within 28 days prior to Day 0. * Serious, non-healing wound, ulcer or bone fracture. * Carcinoma of any histology in close proximity to a major vessel, lung cavitation or history of hemoptysis. * Completion of previous chemotherapy regimen \< four weeks prior to the start of study treatment (within six weeks of study treatment for mitomycin C and nitrosureas), or with related toxicities unresolved prior to the start of study treatment. * Patients who are taking anti coagulation therapy such as coumadin or low molecular weight Heparin. * Patients who have an allergy against heparin. * Medical, social or psychological factors which would interfere with consent and follow up. * Known defective hemostasis, e.g. thrombocytopenia. * Patients receiving Hormone Replacement Therapy.
