Summary

This study tests whether adding low-dose or standard radiation to the usual combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy can help control metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

The goal is to see if the radiation improves how long the cancer stays under control and overall survival, while monitoring side effects.
