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 chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy plus radiation therapy in treating patients who have advanced cancer of the esophagus
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the dose limiting toxicity of irinotecan when given weekly with cisplatin and concurrent external beam multifield radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced carcinoma of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction
Determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase II dose of irinotecan in this regimen in this patient population
Evaluate the complete response rate in these patients to one course of induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy

OUTLINE This is a dose escalation study of irinotecan

Patients receive induction chemotherapy with cisplatin IV over 30 minutes followed by irinotecan IV over 30 minutes on days 1 8 15 and 22 Following 2 weeks of rest patients begin chemoradiation Patients receive cisplatin and irinotecan as above on days 1 8 22 and 29 and radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for 5-6 weeks

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of irinotecan until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicities

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years every 6 months for 2 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 3-24 patients will be accrued for this study
