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 before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed during surgery

PURPOSE Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of two different regimens combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the percentage of margin-free resections in patients with locally advanced potentially resectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas treated with gemcitabine and radiotherapy vs gemcitabine fluorouracil and cisplatin followed by radiotherapy and fluorouracil
Compare the efficacy of these regimens as measured by CT scan response in these patients
Compare the posttreatment fibrosis in resected specimens of patients treated with these regimens
Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients
Compare the duration of objective response in patients treated with these regimens
Compare the disease-free and overall survival of patients treated with these regimens
Compare the effect of these regimens and disease recurrence on CA 19-9 values in these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to superior mesenteric vein SMVportal vein PV occlusion yes vs no SMVPVsuperior mesenteric arteryhepatic artery abutment or narrowing yes vs no prior exploration yes vs no and whether deemed to require preoperative therapy due to other factors yes vs no Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients undergo radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for 6 weeks Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 50 minutes once weekly for 6 weeks during radiotherapy Patients undergo surgical resection 4-6 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy

Maintenance therapy 4-8 weeks after completion of surgery Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 100 minutes once weekly for 2 weeks Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 5 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Arm II Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1 5 29 and 33 cisplatin IV over 60 minutes on days 1-5 and 29-33 and fluorouracil IV continuously on days 1-4 and 29-32 Patients also receive filgrastim G-CSF subcutaneously SC daily on days 6-15 and 34-43 and epoetin alfa SC weekly on weeks 1-9 After completion of chemotherapy patients undergo radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for 6 weeks Patients receive fluorouracil IV continuously daily during radiotherapy Patients undergo surgical resection 4-6 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy

Maintenance therapy 4-8 weeks after completion of surgery Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 100 minutes once weekly for 2 weeks Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 2 years

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 80-160 patients 40-80 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study
