Safety and Efficacy of Neoadjuvant Immunochemotherapy in Elderly Patients With Resectable Esophageal Cancer

Summary

We intend to conduct a prospective single-arm clinical study to explore the efficacy and safety of immunochemotherapy in neoadjuvant therapy in elderly patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Most previous randomized controlled studies (such as the 5010 study) have excluded older patients ≥70 years of age. However, in the real world, elderly patients with esophageal cancer account for a large number of patients, and elderly people have many complications and poor tolerance to treatment, which limits the application of synchronous chemoradiotherapy in this group. There is no standard treatment plan for patients over 70 years old, and the purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy in the treatment of this group of elderly people.
