Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Giving chemotherapy drugs and radiation therapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed during surgery

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy given before surgery in treating patients who have stage I stage II or stage III esophageal cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the total response rate in patients with stage I II or III esophageal cancer treated with paclitaxel carboplatin and fluorouracil with concurrent radiotherapy followed by surgical resection II Determine the overall survival of these patients treated with this regimen II Determine the toxicity of this regimen in this patient population

OUTLINE Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 1 hour followed by carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 22 and fluorouracil IV continuously on days 1-42 Patients undergo radiotherapy concurrently with chemotherapy daily 5 days a week for 5 weeks Patients then undergo surgical resection within 3-5 weeks following completion of therapy Patients are followed every 3 months for 6 months every 6 months for 1 year and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 47 patients will be accrued for this study
