Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Histologically-confirmed squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus; 2. No prior therapy for malignant disease; 3. Endoscopic examination indicated that the upper margin of the tumor was located in the middle or lower thoracic esophagus; 4. Pre-treatment stage as cT2N2M0 or cT3-4aN0-2M0 (AJCC/UICC 8th Edition) (In case of stage cT4a, curative resectability has to be explicitly verified by the local surgical investigator prior to randomization). 5. Aged 18 years to 75 years; 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0–2; 7. Adequate cardiac, respiratory, liver , renal and bone marrow function; 8. The patient has provided written informed consent and is able to understand and comply with the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients with non-squamous cell carcinoma histology; 2. Prior therapy for malignant disease; 3. Endoscopic examination indicated that the upper margin of the tumor was located in the upper thoracic esophagus; 4. Patients with advanced inoperable or metastatic esophageal cancer; 5. Any patient is thought unlikely to tolerate the surgery because of significant medical conditions with cardiac, respiratory, liver, renal and bone marrow function; 6. Participation in another intervention clinical trial with interference to the chemotherapeutic or chemoradiotherapeutic intervention during this study or during the last 30 days prior to informed consent; 7. Expected poor compliance with the protocol.
