Arm 1
Arm 2
Patients in arm 1 will receive adjuvant chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Patients will receive four cycles of gemcitabine (1,000mg/m2 intravenously on days 1 and 8) and capecitabine (1,500mg/m2 per day on days 1 to 14) every 21 days followed by concurrent capecitabine (1,330mg/m2 per day) and radiotherapy (50.4Gy/28fx to regional lymphatics with or without tumor bed)
Patients in arm 2 will receive six cycles chemotherapy of gemcitabine (1,000mg/m2 intravenously on days 1 and 8) and capecitabine (1,500mg/m2 per day on days 1 to 14) every 21 days
