RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy together with radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving oxaliplatin and capecitabine together with radiation therapy works in treating patients with stomach cancer that can be removed by surgery.

Official Title: | Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation Therapy With Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine for Patients With Surgically Resectable Gastric Cancer: A Pilot Phase II Trial With Molecular Correlates |
Estimated Enrollment: | 75 |
Study Start Date: | May 2006 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | April 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, pilot study.
Tumor tissue is obtained at surgery or endoscopic biopsy. Gene expression analysis and comparative genomic hybridization testing are conducted on the tissue. Blood is drawn prior to beginning study treatment and is analyzed for germline polymorphisms.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 3 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 75 patients will be accrued for this study.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
Histologically confirmed primary adenocarcinoma of the stomach, meeting the following criteria:
Enlarged lymph nodes outside of radiation fields must have preoperative biopsies
