Age: 18 to 70 years old (at the time of signing the informed consent form); 3. ECOG score: 0-1 point; 4. Expected survival period >=12 weeks; 5. Pulmonary function tests show that FEV1 is greater than 1L; 6. Before treatment, CT or PET/CT confirmed no severe interstitial lung disease; 7. Thoracic and cervical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (cT1b-4bN0M0, cT1-4bN+M0) that was confirmed by histological examination and/or cytological examination and evaluated by imaging assessment (refer to RECIST 1.1) as locally advanced and unresectable; And patients with unresectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who have been judged by doctors as suitable for the treatment plan in this study; 8. No previous radiotherapy treatment has been received; Has not received EGFR monoclonal antibody drug treatment; Has not received drug treatment targeting related immune checkpoints such as PD-1 and PD-L1; However, thoracotomy, mediastoscopy, resection biopsy or similar surgical procedures can be accepted for the purpose of confirming the diagnosis, staging and surgical treatment of esophageal cancer. 9. According to the RECIST 1.1 efficacy evaluation criteria for solid tumors, the patient has at least one measurable lesion, that is, in CT or MRI detection, the longest diameter of a single lesion is >=10mm, or the lymph nodes are pathologically enlarged, and the shortest diameter of a single lymph node on CT scan is >=15mm; 10. The main organs are functioning well and meet the following criteria: (1) Blood routine test (under the condition of no blood transfusion and no correction with hematopoietic stimulating factor drugs within 14 days) : Hemoglobin (Hb) >=90g/L; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >=1.5×10^9/L; Platelet count (PLT) >=80×10^9/L; (2) Biochemical tests: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =60mL/min; (3) Coagulation function: Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), international normalized ratio (INR), and prothrombin time (PT) =50%; (5) Normal thyroid function is defined as thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) within the normal range. If the baseline TSH exceeds the normal range, subjects with total T3 (or FT3) and FT4 within the normal range can also be enrolled. (6) The doctor clinically determined that there was sufficient organ function. 11. Fertile subjects must use appropriate contraceptive methods during the study period and within 120 days after the study ends, have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days before enrollment in the study, and must be non-lactating subjects.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Subjects with any of the following conditions are not eligible for inclusion in this study: 1. Those with a risk of perforation after esophageal or tracheal stent implantation; 2. Those who have received systemic treatment for advanced or metastatic ESCC; 3. Those with a high risk of bleeding or perforation as judged by the investigator due to tumor invasion of adjacent organs (aorta or trachea) or the formation of fistulas; 4. Those who have received palliative treatment for local lesions within 2 weeks before the first dose; 5. Those who have received systemic treatment with traditional Chinese medicine with anti-cancer indications or immunomodulators (including thymosin, interferon, and interleukin) after signing the informed consent form; 6.
