Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Adenocarcinoma of the rectum originating at or below 12 cm from the anal verge without
             evidence of distant metastases

          2. Patient must be 18 years of age or greater.

          3. Potentially resectable en bloc based upon surgeon evaluation

          4. Clinical stages T3 or T4, based upon endorectal ultrasound, or physical examination
             (only acceptable for T4 lesions).

          5. Absolute neutrophil count of > 1500 per microliter and platelet count > 100,000 per
             microliter; aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase < 2.5 X upper
             limit of normal (ULN), bilirubin < = 1.5 ULN, calculated creatinine clearance > 50
             ml/min using Cockcroft-Gault formula:

               -  CrCl male = (140 - age) x (wt. in kg) / (Serum Cr) x 72

               -  CrCl female = 0.85 x (CrCl male)

          6. Zubrod performance status 0-2

          7. No history of other malignancies within 5 years, except non-melanoma skin cancer, in
             situ carcinoma of the cervix, or ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast. Previous
             invasive cancer permitted if disease free at least 5 years.

          8. Signed study-specific informed consent prior to randomization

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. Any evidence of distant metastasis

          2. Synchronous primary colon carcinomas, except T1 lesions (full colonoscopy not required
             for enrollment)

          3. Extension of malignant disease to the anal canal

          4. Prior radiation therapy to the pelvis

          5. Prior chemotherapy for malignancies

          6. Pregnancy or lactation, (exclusion due to potential adverse effects of therapy). Women
             of childbearing potential with either a positive or no pregnancy test (serum or urine)
             at baseline. Women/men of childbearing potential not using a reliable and appropriate
             contraceptive method. (Postmenopausal women must have been amenorrheic for at least 12
             months to be considered to be of non-childbearing potential.) Patients will agree to
             continue contraception for 30 days from the date of the last study drug
             administration.

          7. Serious, uncontrolled, concurrent infection(s).

          8. Participation in any investigational drug study within 4 weeks preceding the start of
             study treatment.

          9. Clinically significant cardiac disease (e.g. congestive heart failure, symptomatic
             coronary artery disease and cardiac arrhythmias not well controlled with medication)
             or myocardial infarction within the last 12 months.

         10. Evidence of uncontrolled seizures, central nervous system disorders or psychiatric
             disability judged by the investigator to be clinically significant, precluding
             informed consent, or interfering with compliance of oral drug intake.

         11. Other serious uncontrolled medical conditions that the investigator feels might
             compromise study participation.

         12. Major surgery within 4 weeks of the study treatment.

         13. Lack of physical integrity of the upper gastrointestinal tract or malabsorption
             syndrome.

         14. Known, existing uncontrolled coagulopathy.

         15. No concurrent cimetidine allowed.
