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 Combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with cancer of the esophagus
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Estimate the maximum tolerated dose and recommend a phase II dose for paclitaxel TAX when administered as a 96-hour intravenous infusion with a weekly fixed dose of intravenous cisplatin CDDP during concurrent radiotherapy for patients with localized esophageal cancer II Estimate the response rate of patients treated with 2 courses of TAXCDDP induction chemotherapy and the complete response rate of patients treated with TAXCDDP and concurrent radiotherapy III Describe the toxic effects of TAXCDDP prior to and during radiotherapy IV Describe the pharmacokinetics of TAX as a continuous infusion CI over 96 hours V Evaluate by flow cytometry the ability of CI TAX to block esophageal cancer cells in the G2-M phase of the cell cycle

OUTLINE After the MTD of TAX is reached on Part A new patients are entered on Part B The following acronyms are used CDDP Cisplatin NSC-119875 EBRT External-beam radiotherapy TAX Paclitaxel Bristol-Myers NSC-125973 PART A Radiotherapy plus 2-Drug Combination Chemotherapy EBRT using megavoltage equipment 10 MV recommended electron boost allowed for subclavicular fossae plus TAXCDDP PART B 2-Drug Combination Induction Chemotherapy followed by Radiotherapy plus 2-Drug Combination Chemotherapy TAXCDDP followed by EBRT as in Part A plus TAXCDDP

PROJECTED ACCRUAL At least 3 patientsdose will be entered on Part A up to 24 patients and 3-6 patients on Part B
