First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab to standard chemoradiation can shrink advanced esophageal cancer enough to allow surgery. About 45 adults with unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma will receive the combination, then possibly undergo surgery if the tumor becomes removable. The main goal is to see how many patients are alive after 2 years, with secondary focus on complete tumor disappearance and safety.
