Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histological or cytological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas that is locally advanced (Stage II, III) or metastatic (Stage IV), as staged by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC; Protocol Attachment S041.2; Fleming et al. 1997), and not amenable to resection with curative intent.

Ultrasound and X-ray are NOT allowed to measure or follow lesions.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior radiation of equal to or greater than 25% of the bone marrow (Cristy and Eckerman 1987)
- Prior immunotherapy, biological therapy, and/or hormonal therapy for pancreas cancer.
- Prior systemic chemotherapy with 5-FU.
- Patient not yet recovered from the acute toxic effects of the treatment prior to study enrollment.
- Radiotherapy within the last 4 weeks before study entry
