Operable patients are not excluded.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Patients with tumors of grade greater than T-1.
-
Porphyria or hypersensitivity to porphyrin or porphyrin-like compounds.
-
WBC <2,000; platelet count <50,000, prothrombin time 1.5 times above the upper normal limit.

Patients with impaired renal and/or hepatic function (total serum bilirubin >3.0 mg/d, serum creatinine >3 mg%, alkaline phosphatase (hepatic) or SGOT >3 times the upper normal limit.
-
Patients on concurrent chemotherapy or radiation therapy will be excluded as well as those having received prior treatment for the esophageal cancer within 4 weeks of enrollment.
-
If the patient has cancer other than non-melanoma skin cancer they must be deemed disease free by their treating physician.
