RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells.
Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

treating patients who have stomach cancer.
