Brief Summary: RATIONALE Gefitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth Giving gefitinib before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well gefitinib works in treating patients with stage I stage II or stage III esophageal cancer that can be removed by surgery
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the safety and tolerability of neoadjuvant gefitinib in patients with resectable stage I-III esophageal cancer

Secondary

Determine the epidermal growth factor-receptor expression in tissue samples obtained at diagnosis and surgery from patients treated with this drug

OUTLINE This is an open-label study

Patients receive oral gefitinib once daily beginning between days -21 and -14 and continuing until day -1 Patients undergo tumor resection on day 0

After completion of study treatment patients are followed periodically for 6 months

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 30 patients will be accrued for this study
