The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, proton radiation combined with chemotherapy and surgery has on you and your pancreatic cancer. This study will look at the side effects from the treatment and the quality of your life in relation to pain. It will also look at how the tumor responds to the combination of treatment with radiation, chemotherapy and surgery.
Chemotherapy capecitabine on radiation days
Proton radiation over 6 weeks
Surgery 6 weeks after radiation completion
Adjuvant Chemotherapy starting 2-8 weeks after surgery with Gemzar
