Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining surgery with chemotherapy and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells and prevent recurrence of the cancer. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of surgery with or without chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage I rectal cancer.

Conditions

Colorectal Cancer

Keywords

stage I rectal cancer; adenocarcinoma of the rectum

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• disease-free survival

  Up to 5 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• overall survival

  Up to 5 years

• colostomy-free survival

  Up to 5 years

Study Arms (1)

surgery + leucovorin + fluorouracil + radiation

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with T3 disease or positive surgical margins after surgery are removed from study. Patients with T1 disease and negative surgical margins after surgery are observed. Patients with T2 disease and negative surgical margins after surgery receive adjuvant therapy. Beginning 42 days after surgery, T2 patients receive leucovorin calcium (CF) IV over 2 hours with fluorouracil (5-FU) IV bolus 1 hour into the infusion once weekly for 6 weeks. Beginning 2 weeks after the completion of chemotherapy, patients receive chemoradiotherapy comprising radiotherapy once daily 5 times a week for 5 weeks and 5-FU IV continuously while receiving radiotherapy. Beginning 2 weeks after the completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients again receive CF IV over 2 hours with 5-FU IV bolus 1 hour into the infusion once weekly for 6 weeks. Chemotherapy repeats after 2 weeks rest for a total of 2 courses. Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 5 years.

Drug: fluorouracil; Drug: leucovorin calcium; Procedure: conventional surgery; Radiation: radiation therapy
