Measure
Chemotherapy and Bevacizumab With or Without Radiation
FOLFOX/Bevacizumab will be given for 4 cycles over 8 weeks; FOLFOLX6 without Bevacizumab will be given for an additional 2 cycles over 4 weeks. Oxaliplatin will be given on Day 1 of each cycle over 2 hours at 85 mg/m2 IV. Leucovorin will be given Day 1 of each cycle over 2 hours at 400 mg/m2 IV. Fluorouracil will be given on Day 1 of each cycle at 400 mg/m2 IVP, then Fluorouracil will be given at 1200 mg/m2 IVCI over Day 1 and 2. Bevacizumab will be given at 5mg/kg over 10 minutes on day 1. Patients will undergo re-staging within 3 weeks of completing their 6th cycle of FOLFOX. If the reassessment reveals that there has been no disease progression as compared to the pre-treatment evaluation and the patient remains a candidate for an R0 resection. If the surgical oncologist's reassessment is that the patient is not a candidate for an R0 resection, the patient will proceed to standard pre-operative radiation with synchronous infusional 5-fluorouracil.
