  • Paclitaxel+Cisplatin(Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy) — DRUG
    Paclitaxel (50 mg/m²) and Cisplatin (25 mg/m²) administered intravenously on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of a 4-week cycle as part of concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
  • Radiotherapy — RADIATION
    Radiotherapy at a dose of 40 Gy, delivered in 20 fractions over 4 weeks.

Study Details

This study aims to evaluate the impact of the neoadjuvant treatment strategy based on CPS score on the pathological complete response (pCR) rate in patients with resectable locally advanced esophageal cancer.

Arms

  • Experimental: High PD-L1 Expression Group (CPS ≥ 20)
    Patients with high PD-L1 expression (CPS ≥ 20) will receive neoadjuvant immunotherapy alone. This treatment consists of serplulimab for 2 cycles.
  • Experimental: Moderate PD-L1 Expression Group (CPS 10-20)
    Patients with moderate PD-L1 expression (CPS 10-20) will receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy. This includes paclitaxel and cisplatin along with serplulimab for 2 cycles.
  • Experimental: Low PD-L1 Expression Group (CPS < 10)
    Patients with low PD-L1 expression (CPS \< 10) will receive standard neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. This includes paclitaxel and cisplatin along with radiotherapy (40 Gy in 20 fractions over 4 weeks).

Primary Outcome Measure
