Abstract:
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide,especially in East Asia.ESCC accounts for more than 90% of esophageal cancer.Currently,esophagectomy following neoadjuvant therapy is the mainstay of treatment for locally advanced ESCC.However,the overall survival rate of patients with locally advanced ESCC is not satisfactory even when treated following the standard treatment guidelines.With neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy,chemotherapy,or emerging immunotherapy,continuous exploration of efficacy in relation to ESCC is expected to improve overall survival further.Here,we reviewed and summarized current progress of neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced ESCC.
