Study of 5-Fluorouracil and Leucovorin and Intra-abdominal Floxuridine Chemoradiation in Patients With Fully Resected Locally Advanced Gastric Adenocarcinoma

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologic dx of locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma (requires upper endoscopy with bx of lesion and CT scan of chest, abdomen, and pelvis with iv and oral contrast or other methods of imaging to confirm absence of metastatic dz) (Untreated patients with histologically documented gastric/GEJ ca stages IB-IV \[M0\] are eligible) * Based on post-op pathological findings, diagnosis and staging has to confirm stage IB-IV (M0) adenocarcinoma of stomach or GEJ. * Patients who underwent emergency surgery for indications such as GI obstruction, perforation, or hemorrhage, or patients with surgery already performed, are eligible provided surgery is considered curative * ECOG performance status 0-2 * AGC greater than or equal to 1.5; platelets greater than or equal to 100,000; Hgb greater than or equal to 9.0· Total bilirubin less than or eqal to 2.0; SGOT/SGPT less than or equal to 2.5 x uln; alk phos less than or equal to 2.5 x uln * BUN less than or equal to 30; creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 or CrCl \>60 ml/min * Negative b-HCG pregnancy test (females with reproductive potential) * PT, aPTT, and thrombin time within range of normal * Evidence of at least unilateral renal function as established by CT scan with contrast or nephrogram. (If only one kidney is present, at least 2/3 of the functioning kidney must be excluded from any RT port) Exclusion Criteria: * Prior radiation therapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy * Presence of another active invasive malignancy (Except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin ca, in-situ cervical ca, or other cancer for which patient has been disease-free for at least 5 yrs) * Active or uncontrolled infection, including HIV * Psychiatric disorders that would interfere with informed consent· Pregnant or nursing women (Patients of reproductive age must agree to use effective contraceptive method) * Any other severe concurrent disease, which in the judgment of MD would make patient inappropriate for study
