Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as capecitabine fluorouracil and oxaliplatin work in 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

PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy and either capecitabine or fluorouracil with or without oxaliplatin and comparing them to see how well they work when given before surgery in treating patients with resectable rectal cancer It is not yet known whether radiation therapy and either capecitabine or fluorouracil is more effective with or without oxaliplatin in treating rectal cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Compare the rate of local-regional relapse in patients with resectable rectal cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy comprising radiation therapy and either capecitabine or fluorouracil with or without oxaliplatin

Secondary

Compare the rate of clinical complete response in patients treated with these regimens
Compare the rate of pathologic complete response in patients treated with these regimens
Determine the increase in the number of patients who are able to undergo sphincter-saving surgery after treatment with these regimens
Correlate genetic patterns and the presence or absence of specific tissue biomarkers with response and prognosis in patients treated with these regimens
Compare preoperative quality of life QOL of patients treated with oral capecitabine versus continuous infusion with fluorouracil
Determine the impact of oxaliplatin on neurotoxicity in patients treated with these regimens
Compare the toxic effects of these regimens in these patients
Compare the convenience of care in patients treated with these regimens
Determine the impact of the type of surgical management on QOL at 1 and 5 years postoperatively in these patients
Describe the long-term impact of cancer treatment on symptoms eg vitality and neurotoxicity and QOL at 5 years after randomization 5-year follow-up visit

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to participating center gender clinical tumor stage stage II vs stage III and surgical intent sphincter saving vs non-sphincter saving Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 treatment arms

Arm 1 Patients receive fluorouracil IV continuously and undergo radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for 5-6 weeks
Arm 2 Patients receive fluorouracil and undergo radiotherapy as in arm 1 Patients also receive oxaliplatin IV over 1 hour once weekly for 5 weeks
Arm 3 Patients receive oral capecitabine twice daily and undergo radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for 5-6 weeks
Arm 4 Patients receive capecitabine and undergo radiotherapy as in arm 3 Patients also receive oxaliplatin as in arm 2

Within 6-8 weeks after the completion of chemoradiotherapy patients with responding or stable disease undergo surgery Patients with progressive disease are treated at the discretion of the investigator and continue to be followed

Quality of life is assessed at baseline at completion of chemoradiotherapy and at 1 and 5 years after surgery

After completion of study treatment patients are followed every 6 months for 5 years

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 1606 patients will be accrued for this study within 4 years
