NCT06364566

Brief Summary

The optimal interval between neoadjuvant chemradiotherapy and esophagectomy is still a question that needs to be explored for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In this study, based on previous studies, the investigators divided patients into two groups with a cutoff value of 50 days. By comparing the overall survival and disease-free survival of the entire population and non PCR population, the investigators ultimately obtained the optimal surgical timing suitable for clinical use
