Colorectal Cancer
Perioperative Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Colon Cancer That Can Be Surgically Removed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving drugs in different ways may kill more tumor cells.
