Initial chemo for ALL pts (ECX + BEV): Epirubicin 50 mg/m2 d1 every 21 days Cisplatin 60 mg/m2 d1 every 21 days, Capecitabine 625 mg/m2 po bid days 2-21 (held for 48 hours prior to FDG-PET/CT in week 3) Bev 15 mg/kg d1 every 21 days (cycle 1 \& cycle 2 only) Salvage chemotherapy for metabolic non-responders (DI + BEV): Docetaxel 30 mg/m2 d1, d8 every 21 days, CPT-11 50 mg/m2 d1, d8 every 21 days, Bev 15 mg/kg d1, cycle 2 only 2 cycles are planned prior to resection.

Pts who aren't Cisplatin candidates (i.e. Creatinine clearance 40-60/cc, older age, marginal PS,etc.) may get oxaliplatin instead of cisplatin after discus with the PI. Oxaliplatin will be admin at 130 mg/m2 on day 1 every 21 days. Pts who aren't able to get Capecitabine (i.e. insurance restriction, unable to swallow, etc.) may get infusional fluorouracil instead of capecitabine after discus with the PI. Fluorouracil will be admin at 200 mg/m2/d x 21 days (held for 48 hours prior to FDGPET/ CT scan in week 3 of cycle 1).

Patients with FDG avid locally advanced but resectable gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma will receive preoperative therapy with epirubicin, cisplatin, capecitabine (ECX), and bevacizumab. Each cycle of therapy is 21 days. Near the completion of cycle 1 of therapy (eg during week 3, target days 18-21), patients will undergo a second FDG-PET/CT scan. Note, patients will hold capecitabine for 48 hours prior to the FDG-PET/CT scan.

Patients with a good metabolic response (eg. \> 35% reduction in FDG uptake at the primary tumor on the week 3 PET scan as compared with baseline FDG uptake) will continue ECX for 2 additional cycles (cycle 2 and 3).

Cycle 2 will be administered with bevacizumab and cycle 3 will be administered without bevacizumab. Patients will then proceed to surgery approximately 4-6 weeks following the completion of cycle 3. There is a 10-12 week time interval (eg. 70-84 days) between the last bevacizumab treatment and surgery.

This study is being done to find out how effective a new treatment strategy is on your cancer. In this strategy, the response your tumor has to the first cycle of therapy will help select the next treatments. We also will find out the effects, both good and/or bad, a drug called bevacizumab has on you and your tumor when given with chemotherapy.

Pre-operative Chemotherapy Plus Bevacizumab With Early Salvage Therapy Based on PET Assessment of Response in Patients With Locally Advanced But Resectable Gastric and GEJ Adenocarcinoma

A Phase II Study of Pre-operative Chemotherapy Plus Bevacizumab With Early Salvage Therapy Based on PET Assessment of Response in Patients With Locally Advanced But Resectable Gastric and GEJ Adenocarcinoma

A good early FDG Response is a reduction in FDG uptake on the week 3 PET scan of \> or = to 35% from baseline. An FDG PET non-responder will be defined as having a decrease of \< 35% on the week 3 PET scan compared with baseline.
