Study #2020-0481
A Phase Ib Trial of Preoperative Short-Course Chemoradiotherapy followed by Chemotherapy for Resectable Gastric and Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma
MD Anderson Study Status
Not Accepting
Treatment Agent
Capecitabine, Fluorouracil
Description
This phase Ib trial investigates the side effects and how well a shorter course of chemotherapy and radiation treatment (chemoradiotherapy) for 2 weeks instead of 5 weeks followed by standard chemotherapy works in treating patients with gastric cancer who are scheduled to have treatment and then surgery to remove the tumor. Chemotherapy drugs, such as capecitabine and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving short-course chemo-radiotherapy before chemotherapy and surgery may help to control the disease.
