Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies how well giving bevacizumab, radiation therapy, and combination chemotherapy works in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for locally advanced nonmetastatic rectal cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some find tumor cells and kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs, such as capecitabine, may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bevacizumab together with radiation therapy and combination chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving bevacizumab together with combination chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Pathologic Complete Response Rate
Pathologic complete response to preoperative therapy was determined at the time of surgical resection. Pathologic complete response (pCR) is defined as no evidence of invasive cells on pathologic examination of the primary rectal cancer (or tissue from the area where the tumor had been if there is a complete clinical response). Pathologic complete response rate is calculated as number of patients achieving pathologic complete response divided by all eligible and treated patients
Assessed at surgery time
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Resection Rate for T3 Rectal Cancers
Assessed at surgery time
Resection Rate for T4 Rectal Cancers
Assessed at surgery time
5-year Overall Survival Rate
survival follow-up began after post-operative chemotherapy, assessed every 3 months for patients 3-5 years from registration, every 6 months for patients 5-10 years from registration and every 12 months for patients 10 years from registration
5-year Recurrence-free Survival Rate
recurrence follow-up began after post-operative chemotherapy, assessed every 3 months for patients 3-5 years from registration, every 6 months for patients 5-10 years from registration and every 12 months for patients 10 years from registration

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients must have histologically confirmed, locally advanced, non-metastatic primary T3 or T4 adenocarcinoma of the rectum
- Patients must not have evidence of tumor outside of the pelvis including liver metastases, peritoneal seeding, or metastatic inguinal lymphadenopathy
- Patients must not have intra-operative radiotherapy (IORT) or brachytherapy treatment to the pelvis
- The distal border of the tumor must be at or below the peritoneal reflection, defined as within 12 centimeters of the anal verge by proctoscopic examination
- Transmural penetration of tumor through the muscularis propria must be demonstrated by either of the following: computed tomography (CT) scan plus endorectal ultrasound, or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); an endorectal coil or pelvic MRI is allowed
- For the patient to be eligible, the surgeon must prospectively define the tumor as either initially resectable or potentially resectable after pre-operative chemoradiation; clinically resectable tumors are defined as completely resectable with negative margins based on routine examination of the non-anesthetized patient; patients whose tumors are not resectable are not eligible; before pre-operative (op) treatment, the surgeon should estimate and record the type of resection anticipated: pelvic exenteration, posterior pelvic exenteration, APR, LAR, or LAR/coloanal anastomosis
- Patients with tumors that are clinically fixed, clinical stage T4N0-2, M0 are eligible if it is believed that their tumors are potentially resectable after chemoradiation; based on the following:
- Clinically fixed tumors on rectal examination with tumor adherent to the pelvic sidewall or sacrum
- Sciatica attributed to sacral root invasion with CT scan/MRI evidence of the lack of clear tissue plane will be considered evidence of fixation
- Hydronephrosis on CT scan or intravenous pyelogram (IVP) or ureteric or bladder invasion as documented by cystoscopy and cytology or biopsy, or invasion into prostate
- Vaginal or uterine involvement
- Patients must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1
- A surgical evaluation must confirm patient's ability to tolerate the proposed surgical procedure
- Patients must have a caloric intake \> 1500 kilocalories/day (d)
- Within 4 weeks prior to registration, the patient's absolute neutrophil count (ANC) level must be \>= 1,500/mm\^3
