Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to find out what effects good and bad the combination of three chemotherapy drugs cetuximab cisplatin and irinotecan have on esophageal cancer when given with radiation therapy
Detailed Description: Patients participating in this study must have a tumor biopsy taken to confirm the type of tumor
Outpatient therapy with cetuximab alone will be given intravenously on week 0
During week 1-8 outpatient radiation therapy will be started and continued once per day for 28 treatments or 5 12 weeks
Outpatient chemotherapy cisplatin irinotecan and cetuximab is given once per week on weeks 1 2 4 and 5 Cetuximab alone will be given on weeks 3 6 7 and 8
A repeat CT scan and PET scan will be performed to restage the tumor on week 8 This is to confirm that the cancer has remained localized
Inpatient surgery is scheduled 4 to 8 weeks after completion of chemotherapy and radiation therapy
Cetuximab will be restarted within 4 weeks after surgery and continue weekly for 6 months
During chemotherapy and radiation therapy physical exams and vital signs will be performed before each chemotherapy treatment Routine blood tests will also be performed
Between chemotherapy-radiation therapy and surgery a CAT scan of chest abdomen and pelvis along with a PET scan will be performed
After surgery a CAT scan of chest abdomen and pelvis will be performed every 3 months for 2 years then every 6 months for 3 years An EGD upper endoscopy with biopsy will be done every 6 months for 2 years and then yearly for 3 years Physical exam vital signs and routine blood tests will be done every 2 weeks for 6 months then every 3 months for 15 years and then every 6 months for 3 years
