Study Arms (1)
induction chemotherapy + radiochemotherapy
EXPERIMENTALpreoperative induction chemotherapy in combination with bevacizumab followed by combined radiochemotherapy with capecitabine induction chemotherapy: starts within 28 days after bioptical diagnosis. All patients are administered with capecitabine (Xeloda®) 1000 mg/m2 bid during 14 days (d1-d14), oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 and bevacizumab (Avastin®) 7.5 mg/kg body weight on day 1; repetition days 22 and 43 (3 cycles) Combined radiochemotherapy: starts at the earliest one week after concluded third cycle of induction chemotherapy. Radiotherapy takes place on 5 x 5 days (dose: 1.8 Gy; cumulative dose: 45 Gy). For chemotherapy patients are administered with capecitabine (Xeloda®) 825mg/m² bid, on each radiation day during the first 4 weeks of radiochemotherapy.
Interventions
Therapy start: Capecitabine 1000mg/ m² bid during 14 days(d1-14), oxaliplatin 130mg/m² and Bevacizumab 7.5mg/kg body weight d1, repetition day 22 and 43 (3 cycles) Radiotherapy: Followed by 5 x 5 days 1.8 Gy after 1 week of concluded 3rd cycle of induction chemotherapy Chemotherapy: Capecitabine 825 mg/m2 bid (on each therapy day of first 4 therapy weeks)
