NCT03964753

Brief Summary

To verify the role of nab-paclitaxel in neoadjuvant therapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, the investigators designed a prospective, randomized, controlled , multicente phase II trial, to investigate the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel combined with cisplatin as neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery versus surgery alone for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
