Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to test 2 different methods of surgery to remove cancer in the esophagus. This research is being done to see whether removing more tissue and lymph nodes surrounding the tumor in the esophagus (known as transthoracic en bloc esophagectomy) offers better control of the cancer than removing less tissue and lymph nodes (known as non-en bloc esophagectomy).
Detailed Description:
The aim of this study is to determine the 5-year disease-free survival, overall survival, and time to progression comparing (Arm A) transthoracic en bloc esophagectomy and (Arm B) transhiatal or transthoracic non-en bloc esophagectomy. Randomization to the two surgical arms will take place after the patient has given written informed consent and eligibility has been established. Patients will be informed of their randomized arm prior to the day of surgery. Preoperative chemotherapy may be administered at the discretion of the treating physician. Adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy will be prescribed at the discretion of the treating physician. All patients will be followed for recurrence and survival for 5 years.
