Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Stereotactic body radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving stereotactic body radiation therapy together with gemcitabine hydrochloride may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of stereotactic body radiation therapy when given with or without gemcitabine hydrochloride in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery.

* Tumor encases \> 180 degrees of the circumference of the superior mesenteric artery
* Tumor encases the common hepatic artery with no anatomic option for reconstruction following segmental resection
* Superior mesenteric vein occluded or encased with no option for reconstruction following segmental resection
* Soft tissue infiltration of the retroperitoneum to the left of the superior mesenteric artery
* All malignant disease must be encompassed within a single radiotherapy field
* No metastatic disease

* Unstable symptomatic arrhythmia requiring medication (e.g., chronic atrial arrhythmia \[atrial fibrillation or paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia\])
* Atrial arrhythmia allowed provided it is well-controlled on stable medication
* No current or recent (within the past 6 months) unstable angina
* No recent (within the past 6 months) arterial thromboembolic events, including transient ischemic attack, cerebrovascular accident, or clinically significant peripheral artery disease
