Summary

This early-phase trial tests whether a shorter course of chemoradiation (2 weeks instead of 5) followed by standard chemotherapy is safe and effective for people with stomach cancer who will have surgery. About 25 participants will receive the shorter radiation along with chemo drugs before their tumor is removed. The goal is to control the disease and reduce side effects.
