RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue and blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well biological factors work in predicting response to treatment in patients with esophageal cancer or rectal cancer.

Study Design: | Diagnostic, Non-Randomized |
Official Title: | Study to Analyze the Predictive Role of Factors Implicated in the Signaling Pathway of the EGFR in Response to Treatment With Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy in Patients With Cancer of the Esophagus or Rectum |
Estimated Enrollment: | 160 |
Study Start Date: | August 2005 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | September 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
Secondary
OUTLINE: Patients undergo endoscopy, 11 biopsies of tumor tissue, and 3 biopsies of healthy mucosa. Blood samples are also collected. Samples are analyzed for the expression of 4 receptors in the EGFR family, polymorphisms at intron 1 of the EGFR gene, and gene mutations in downstream signaling pathways.
After surgery, patients are followed every 3 months.
