Trial Identification
Brief Title: Positron Emission Tomography in Determining Stage of Esophageal Cancer
Official Title: The Utility of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in Staging of Patients With Potentially Operable Carcinoma of the Thoracic Esophagus
Study ID: NCT00004867
Conditions
Study Description
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.
