Efficacy and Safety of Anlotinib Combined With Bemocizumab for Neoadjuvant Therapy of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma(ESCC)

Summary

This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with bemocizumab as neoadjuvant therapy for resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, with the goal of improving the pathological complete response (pCR) rate and margin-negative resection(R0) resection rate in patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery, as well as enhancing disease-free survival (DFS) in postoperative patients. This will provide guidance and new options for the treatment of patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer.
