Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor
cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Internal radiation uses
radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Giving
chemotherapy together with internal radiation may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving chemotherapy together with internal
radiation works in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver.
