Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Drugs used in chemotherapy 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 during surgery

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining radiation therapy with fluorouracil before surgery in treating patients who have primary or recurrent bile duct cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the pathologic response rate in patients with primary or recurrent biliary duct carcinoma treated with neoadjuvant radiotherapy and fluorouracil followed by surgical resection
Determine the tumor response morbidity failure patterns locoregional vs distant and survival in patients treated with this regimen
Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients

OUTLINE This is a multicenter study

Patients undergo radiotherapy once daily five days a week for 55 weeks Patients receive fluorouracil IV over 12 hours each day radiotherapy is administered Four to six weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy patients undergo surgical resection Patients with residual disease after resection may undergo boost radiotherapy

Patients are followed every 12 weeks until disease progression and then every 16 weeks after disease progression

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 20-47 patients will be accrued for this study within 25 years
