Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Drugs used in chemotherapy such as capecitabine use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well neoadjuvant radiation therapy and capecitabine work in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for stage III or stage IV colorectal adenocarcinoma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the objective tumor response rate in patients with stage III or IV colorectal adenocarcinoma treated with neoadjuvant radiotherapy and capecitabine

Secondary

Determine the tolerance profile of this regimen in these patients
Determine the rate of preservation of functional integrity of the anal sphincter in patients treated with this regimen
Compare the conversion rate from the effects of mutilating surgery vs surgery with sphincter preservation in patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is a multicenter study

Patients receive oral capecitabine twice daily and undergo concurrent radiotherapy 5 days a week on weeks 1-5 Patients undergo surgery on week 6

Patients are followed every 4 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 48 patients will be accrued for this study within 10 months
