Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells Drugs used in chemotherapy such as pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Pemetrexed disodium may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth Giving radiation therapy together with pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well giving radiation therapy together with pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin works in treating patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer that can be removed by surgery
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the pathologic complete response rate of radiotherapy pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin when administered prior to esophagectomy in patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer

Secondary

Determine the activity in terms of clinical response rate and adverse event profile of radiotherapy pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin when administered prior to esophagectomy
Determine the overall survival time-to-progression and time-to-treatment failure for patients receiving the above combined modality treatment
Determine the surgical outcome for all patients who undergo esophagectomy
Determine the time-to-disease recurrence and disease-free survival for patients who have a curative resection
Determine quality of life of patients treated with this regimen OUTLINE This is a multicenter study Patients undergo radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for 5 ½ weeks and concurrently receive pemetrexed disodium IV over 10 minutes and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 22 Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients who are eligible will undergo esophagectomy between 4-12 weeks after completion of radiotherapy

Quality of life is assessed at baseline immediately prior to day 22 of chemotherapy and within 2 weeks prior to surgery

After completion of study treatment patients are followed periodically for approximately 4 years

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 50 patients will be accrued for this study
