Brief Summary: RATIONALE Monoclonal antibodies such as cetuximab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells Drugs used in chemotherapy such as fluorouracil 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 Giving cetuximab with fluorouracil and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the safety profile of neoadjuvant cetuximab fluorouracil and pelvic irradiation in patients with locally advanced or locally recurrent rectal cancer

Secondary

Determine the activity of this regimen in terms of pathological complete response rate in these patients

OUTLINE This is a non-randomized open-label pilot study

Patients receive cetuximab IV over 1-2 hours on days 1 8 15 22 29 36 43 50 57 and 64 and fluorouracil IV continuously on days 1-42 Patients undergo whole-pelvic radiotherapy once daily on days 1-5 8-12 15-19 22-26 29-33 and 36-40 Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Approximately 1-3 weeks after completion of study treatment patients undergo surgical resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy off-study

Patients are followed for up to 5 years
