Brief Summary:
The primary purpose of the study is to determine the impact of chemotherapy on the ability of your surgeon to completely remove the cancer as well as the impact on your survival. Furthermore the investigators will be assessing the side effects of this chemotherapy strategy. Finally the investigators will determine the ability of specialized imaging technology (PET scan) to document and predict the response of the tumor to this chemotherapy.
Standard therapy for patients with your condition usually consists of surgery (removal of the tumor) followed by combination chemotherapy and radiotherapy. More recently, standard options available to patients with cancer of the stomach or lower esophagus have been expanded to include chemotherapy without radiotherapy prior to and following surgery. While it is believed that chemotherapy prior to surgery is a good option for patients with stomach, it is not known what is the optimal chemotherapy regimen to offer patients prior to surgery to improve the likelihood of cure while limiting side-effects to patients.
