Summary

This study tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug toripalimab to standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with resectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. About 390 adults aged 18-75 will be randomly assigned to receive either toripalimab plus nab-paclitaxel and platinum, or a standard chemo regimen (DCF). The main goal is to see if the new combination leads to a higher rate of complete tumor disappearance (pathological complete response) after treatment.
