Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced, Unresectable, or Metastatic Stomach Cancer

Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving capecitabine together with oxaliplatin works in treating patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic stomach cancer.
