First seen Apr 09, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab alone or with relatlimab) before standard chemoradiation is safe and feasible for people with operable stage II/III esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer. About 32 adults will receive the drugs, then chemoradiation, followed by surgery. The goal is to see if this approach changes the tumor's environment and improves survival without causing major delays in surgery.
