Conditions

Advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Interventions

Experimental group:Radiation therapy is started on day 1 at 2 Gy once a day until the target dose reaches 10 Gy per 5 doses. On the 6th day after the start of radiotherapy, docetaxel + PD1 inhibitor w
observe group:The control group was treated with docetaxel at the recommended dose according to the instructions, intravenous infusion, and Q3W treatment until the disease progressed.
