Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin,
work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by
stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells.
Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with radiation therapy may kill
more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy together
with radiation therapy works in treating patients with recurrent metastatic colorectal
cancer.
Phase:
