Brief summary

Although unprecedented advances have been made in the field of esophageal cancer in recent decades, the prognosis for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains extremely poor, accounting for 30-40% of overall survival at 5 year. In recent years, multimodal treatments have proven to be an appropriate therapeutic approach for locally advanced ESCC. Recently, immunotherapy developed rapidly. The purpose of this study was to observe the efficacy and safety of cardonilizumab combined with chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced ESCC.

Interventions

Two cycles of Inductive therapy: nab-paclitaxel 250mg/ m2+cisplatin 75mg/ m2+Cardonilizumab 10mg/kg,ivgtt,3 weeks per cycle for 2 cycles

RADIATIONChemoradiotherapy ±immunotherapy

Chemoradiotherapy ± immunotherapy: * PTV: 50-50.4Gy/1.8-2Gy/25-28fractions ②nab-paclitaxel 100mg+cisplatin 25mg/ m2, d1, every 7 days for 3-5 weeks ③Cardonilizumab 10mg/kg,ivgtt,3 weeks per cycle for 2 cycles

PROCEDURERadical surgery

Surgery was evaluated after concurrent chemoradiotherapy according to patients willing and the surgeons' assessment. If patients were accessed with unresectable disease after radiotherapy or refused to receive surgery, Cardonilizumab would be administered for 2 years or until disease progression.
