This study administers 50.4 Gy of radiation for unresectable pancreatic cancer with concurrent capecitabine and an experimental drug, Bevacizumab. The drug is an antiangiogenic agent (kills tumor blood vessels) and has been shown in preclinical models to enhance the antitumor effect of radiation and chemotherapy.
