Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1: History of malignancies other than esophageal cancer within the past 5 years (excluding cured local tumors such as carcinoma in situ of the cervix, basal cell carcinoma of the skin, and carcinoma in situ of the prostate); patients with prostate cancer who have received hormonal therapy and achieved disease-free survival (DFS) for more than 5 years are not excluded; 2: Patients with a high risk of bleeding, including those with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding within the past 6 months, those with coagulation disorders at the time of screening, or those undergoing thrombolytic or anticoagulant therapy; 3: Severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: (1) New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II or above congestive heart failure, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, poorly controlled arrhythmia, or cerebrovascular events within 12 months prior to enrollment; (2) Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 480 ms (calculated using Fridericia's method; if QTc is abnormal, three consecutive tests at 2-minute intervals should be performed, and the average value taken); (3) Poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure >=150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure >=100 mmHg prior to enrollment, calculated based on the average of >=2 measurements); history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy; 4: History of interstitial lung disease or pneumonia requiring steroid treatment; 5: Active tuberculosis or anti-tuberculosis treatment within 1 year prior to enrollment; 6: Asthma requiring intermittent use of bronchodilators or other medical interventions; 7: Patients with infectious diseases requiring systemic treatment (oral or intravenous) within 4 weeks prior to enrollment; patients with active hepatitis must receive effective treatment prior to enrollment; 8: Presence of severe unhealed wounds, active ulcers, or untreated fractures; 9: Concurrent conditions that preclude surgery; 10: Previous surgeries that prevent the use of the stomach for esophageal reconstruction in this procedure; 11: Systemic steroid therapy (prednisone >=10 mg daily or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive agents within 2 weeks prior to enrollment; 12: Severe allergy to chemotherapy drugs (albumin-bound paclitaxel or cisplatin); 13: Known allergy to iparomlimab and tuvonralimab (QL1706) or its excipients, or history of allergy, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to other monoclonal antibodies; 14: Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment (i.e., immunomodulatory drugs, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive agents) within the past 2 years; however, replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiological corticosteroid replacement for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered systemic treatment and is allowed for enrollment; 15: History of organ transplantation; 16: For patients with HBsAg (+) and/or HBcAb (+), HBV DNA must be 10³ copies/mL should be excluded; 18: Co-infecti
