Brief Summary: RATIONALE Photodynamic therapy uses light and drugs that make cancer cells more sensitive to light to kill tumor cells This may be an effective treatment for esophageal cancer

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy in treating patients with Barretts esophagus who have in situ esophageal cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Evaluate the efficacy of photodynamic therapy PDT using porfimer sodium Photofrin and controlled uniform laser light in patients with carcinoma in situ in Barretts esophagus or severe dysplasia in Barretts esophagus II Evaluate the safety of the treatment on this patient

OUTLINE This is a noncomparative study PDT consists of IV porfimer sodium followed 40-50 hours later by laser red light delivered by optic fibers passed through the biopsy channel of an endoscope Retreatment if necessary consists of up to 3 injections at least 30 days apart and up to 6 laser light treatments with a maximum of 2 following each injection Patients are followed monthly for 4 months and then periodically for at least 5 years

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 20 patients will be accrued for this study
