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).
