Brief Summary: RATIONALE Imaging procedures such as positron emission tomography may improve the ability to determine the stage of esophageal cancer

PURPOSE This clinical trial is studying how well fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography determines tumor stage in patients with esophageal cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary Objective

To evaluate whether FDG-PET imaging can detect lesions that would preclude surgery esophagectomy in patients found to be surgical candidates by standard imaging procedures

Secondary Objective

To use the collected data to generate hypotheses to be used in future studies such as which types of previously undetected lesions FDG-PET imaging is best able to identify
