Summary

This study looked at 200 patients with advanced esophageal cancer to compare two treatments given before surgery: immunotherapy plus chemotherapy versus chemoradiotherapy. Both treatments led to similar long-term survival rates. The study suggests that immunotherapy may offer extra benefits for some patients who respond well, but more research is needed.
