Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy Combined With Camrelizumab and Nimotuzumab for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery has been the standard modality for locally advance esophageal carcinoma. According to CROSS study, the pathological complete remission rate achieved by paclitaxel and carboplatin with 41.4 Gy/23f was 49% for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. But the 10-year overall survival rate was only 38%. How to …
