Summary

This study looked at 200 people with advanced esophageal cancer to see if a newer treatment (immunotherapy plus chemotherapy) works as well as the standard treatment (chemotherapy plus radiation) before surgery. Both treatments led to similar long-term survival rates. The newer treatment may offer extra benefits for some patients, but more research is needed.
