Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Chemoprotective drugs such as triacetyluridine may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of triacetyluridine, fluorouracil, and leucovorin in treating patients who have unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic cancer of the esophagus or stomach.

Conditions

Esophageal Cancer; Gastric Cancer

Keywords

stage III gastric cancer; stage IV gastric cancer; recurrent gastric cancer; stage III esophageal cancer; stage IV esophageal cancer; recurrent esophageal cancer; adenocarcinoma of the stomach; adenocarcinoma of the esophagus
