Arm Description

Arm A: will receive combination of irinotecan and docetaxel regimen for 2 cycles, recycling every 21 days Irinotecan 100 mg/m2 by intra venous infusion over 2 hours in day1 and docetaxel 40 mg/m2 over one hour will be given on day 1 Assessment by PET scan and CT chest and abdomen will be done 2-3 weeks after end of 2nd cycle of irinotecan and docetaxel

Arm B will receive combination of cisplatin, fluorouracil and concurrent radiation therapy 50 Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks with cisplatin 75 mg/m2 on first day of week 1 and week 5 and fluorouracil 750 mg/m2 daily by continuous intra venous infusion at Day 1 and Day 29 of Radiation therapy for 4 days. PET scan will be repeated 3-4 weeks after end of concurrent chemo-radiation therapy Patients in Arm A and B will go for esophagectomy 4-6 weeks after end of concurrent chemo-radiation therapy or chemotherapy

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pathological Complete Response ( regression score 1a- see response assessment) in each treatment group

Secondary Outcome Measures

Rate of conversion from PET non responder to responder with each type of salvage therapy
Failure Free Survival for each treatment group Overall Survival for each treatment group ERCC1 as a predictor of failure of response to cisplatin based chemotherapy in neo adjuvant setting.
