Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as oxaliplatin floxuridine docetaxel and leucovorin work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Giving more than one drug combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells Giving chemotherapy 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 combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with previously untreated stage II or stage III esophageal cancer that can be removed by surgery
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy comprising oxaliplatin floxuridine docetaxel and leucovorin calcium improves the rate of pathologic complete response in patients with previously untreated resectable stage II or III adenocarcinoma of the esophagus

Secondary

Determine the progression-free and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen
Determine the clinical response rates complete response and partial response in patients treated with this regimen
Evaluate thymidylate synthase TS mRNA gene expression TS activity and TS and mRNA sequence to determine the altered spots as related to drug resistance in these patients
Evaluate the potential for genome-wide gene expression profiling to predict response to therapy recurrence progression-free survival overall survival and drug sensitivity and resistance in these patients
Define the role of 5 untranslated region 5-UTR on translation and drug resistance in these patients
Evaluate by bone marrow aspirate analysis and flow cytometry the initial presence of cancer cells in the marrow and clearance of these cells after treatment with this regimen
Evaluate the safety of this regimen in these patients
Assess quality of life of patients during and after treatment with this regimen

OUTLINE This is a nonrandomized open-label study

Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on days 1 and 15 and docetaxel IV over 30 minutes floxuridine IV over 24 hours and leucovorin calcium IV over 24 hours on days 1 8 and 15 Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Patients undergo surgery after completion of chemotherapy Patients who achieve pathologic complete response pCR receive no further chemotherapy Patients who have not achieved a pCR receive 2 courses of adjuvant chemotherapy same regimen as the neoadjuvant chemotherapy beginning 3 weeks after surgery

Patients undergo blood and tissue collection periodically for correlative studies Samples are analyzed for thymidylate synthase TS mRNA gene expression TS activity and TS and mRNA sequence by bone marrow aspirate flow cytometry and quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction

Quality of life will be assessed at baseline after neoadjuvant chemotherapy after adjuvant therapy and at the first 3-month follow-up visit

After completion of study treatment patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years every 6 months for 3 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 34 patients will be accrued for this study
