Summary

This study tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug adbelimumab to standard chemotherapy and the targeted drug apatinib can help shrink esophageal cancer before surgery. About 35 adults with resectable stage II–IVA esophageal squamous cell carcinoma will receive this combination. The goal is to see if more patients have no cancer left at surgery (pathological complete response) and to check for side effects.
