Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy Plus CRT Versus Neoadjuvant CRT for Locally Advanced Resectable ESCC

Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety, feasibility and outcome of anti-PD-1 antibody (Tislelizumab, BeiGene) combined with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy versus neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by minimally invasive esophagectomy for locally advanced resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (cII-III Stage) patient.

14. Any patient with a significant medical condition which is thought unlikely to tolerate the therapies. Such as cardiac disease (e.g. symptomatic coronary artery disease or myocardial infarction within last 12 months), clinically-significant lung disease, clinically-significant bone marrow, liver, renal function disorder;
15. Pregnant or lactating women and fertile women who will not be using contraception during the trial;
16. 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;
