Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from...

Detailed Description

The study was originally intended to be Phase I/Phase II but it was terminated early because of toxicity of treatment and therefore never moved to the Phase II portion of the study. OBJECTIVES: * De...
