Inclusion criteria

* Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction (GEA). Other GE histologies which are treated per NCCN guidelines for neoadjuvant treatment are eligible. * Must have Stage IB, II or Stage III GEA eligible for (neo)adjuvant doublet or triplet chemotherapy for up to 6 months. * Age ≥ 18 years Because the safety or efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for LGEA has not been tested or established for patients \<18 years of age, children are excluded from this study but will be eligible for future pediatric trials, if applicable. * Performance status: ECOG performance status ≤2 * Life expectancy of greater than 6 months * Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below: 1. hemoglobin ≥ 7g/dL 2. absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mcL 3. platelets ≥ 80,000/mcl 4. total bilirubin within normal institutional limits 5. AST(SGOT)/ALT(SPGT) ≤ 5 X institutional upper limit of normal 6. creatinine \<2 X ULN * Docetaxel can cause fetal harm and irinotecan is known to be teratogenic. Since these compounds are part of the treatment regimens, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 90 days following completion of therapy. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. 1\. A female of child-bearing potential is any woman (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who meets the following criteria: 1. Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2. Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months). * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent. 1. Both men and women and members of all races and ethnic groups are eligible for this trial. Non-English speaking, deaf, hard of hearing and illiterate individuals are eligible for this trial.

Exclusion criteria

* Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents. * Patients with known distant metastases from GEA. * History of allergic reactions attributed to agents used in study. * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. * History of another primary cancer which requires active treatment or is expected to require treatment within 12 months after enrollment. * Inability to comply with study and follow-up procedures as judged by the Investigator. * Patients who are pregnant or nursing due to the potential for congenital abnormalities and the potential of this regimen to harm nursing infants. * Patients with prior organ/bone marrow/non-autologous stem cell transplants
