Clinical trials: Operable Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal Cancer, Gastric Cancer
Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy Before and After Surgery in Treating Patients With Esophageal Cancer
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
