Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use 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 Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells left after surgery

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining fluorouracil and radiation therapy in treating patients who have undergone surgery for pancreatic cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the tolerance of adjuvant fluorouracil with concurrent radiotherapy in patients with resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma
Determine survival without local relapse in these patients treated with this regimen
Determine overall survival of these patients treated with this regimen
Determine the effectiveness of this adjuvant therapy in these patients

OUTLINE This is a multicenter study

Patients receive high-dose radiotherapy 5 days a week for 5 weeks Patients also receive low-dose radiotherapy 4 times a week during the last 2 weeks of the 5-week course of treatment Patients concurrently receive fluorouracil IV continuously for 5 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Patients are followed for survival

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study
