    Although some progress has been made in radiotherapy and chemotherapy regimens in recent years, the prognosis of patients receiving CRT treatment is still not optimistic, and the 3-year overall survival rate (OS) of patients is only 26.


    This randomized phase II clinical trial aims to compare the efficacy and safety of induction chemotherapy followed by radical radiochemotherapy (CRT) and CRT alone in ESCC (esophageal squamous cell carcinoma) patients who are not suitable for surgery (number of patients) N=110)
