    After the meeting, Yimaitong invited Professor Shan Jianzhen to conduct an exclusive interview to talk about the progress and exploration direction of immunotherapy for esophageal cancer.

    Professor Shan Jianzhen: As we all know, esophageal cancer is a high-incidence malignant tumor in China and the world, and patients with advanced esophageal cancer The median survival time is no more than 1 year.

    With the breakthrough of immunotherapy in various fields such as melanoma and lung cancer, the clinical exploration of immunotherapy for patients with advanced esophageal cancer has also begun.

    After immunotherapy entered the field of esophageal cancer, it has brought about earth-shaking changes, gradually moving from the back line to the front line, with neoadjuvant and postoperative adjuvant therapy advancing.

    For locally advanced esophageal cancer, the CheckMate 577 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine recently explored the adjuvant therapeutic value of immunotherapy after complete surgical resection of stage II/III esophageal cancer/gastroesophageal junction cancer, which proved immune Adjuvant therapy can bring significant clinical improvement in disease-free survival for patients with resectable esophageal cancer/gastroesophageal junction cancer, and related clinical research on neoadjuvant immunotherapy for esophageal cancer is also rapidly advancing.

    Since most of the esophageal cancer patients in my country are in the middle and advanced stages, and inoperable patients account for a large proportion, in the future, we will continue to explore whether immunotherapy can give inoperable esophageal cancer patients the opportunity to be surgically removed, allowing more advanced patients to live longer.

    In addition, in the field of adjuvant therapy, how to reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence of patients, screen more precise immune benefit populations, and explore efficient immunization combinations require us to further carry out more clinical research.
