Chemoradiation for Locally Advanced and Low Rectal Cancers: Avastin-Capecitabine-Oxaliplatin-Radiation REctal Cancer Trial

Summary

This phase II study will evaluate the effect of bevacizumab, capecitabine and oxaliplatin with radiation on rectal cancer. Researchers will also evaluate the tolerability (how it makes the patient feel) and safety of this combination by watching for harmful side-effects.It is hoped that by adding bevacizumab to the capecitabine/oxaliplatin treatment in combination with radiation before surgery will improve response rate.
