Current evidence for efficacy of preoperative therapy for locally advanced ESCC is reviewed and summarize to improve overall survival further.
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, neoadjuvant therapy in combination with surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment. 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 review and summarize current evidence for efficacy of preoperative therapy for locally advanced ESCC.

Neoadjuvant programmed cell death 1 blockade combined with chemotherapy for resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

TL;DR: Neoadjuvant camrelizumab plus carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel had manageable treatment-related adverse effects and induced an objective response in 90.5% of patients, demonstrating its antitumor efficacy in resectable ESCC.

Update on Management of Squamous Cell Esophageal Cancer

TL;DR: Novel approaches to screening may be cost-effective in regions with a high incidence of ESCC and several recent studies have found a survival benefit to immunotherapy for patients with metastatic or persistent disease.

Toripalimab Plus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin as Neoadjuvant Therapy in Locally Advanced Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

TL;DR: The combination of toripalimab plus paclitaxel and carboplatin is safe, feasible, and effective in locally advanced resectable ESCC, indicating its potential as a neoadjuvant treatment for ESCC.

Combining serum inflammation indexes at baseline and post treatment could predict pathological efficacy to anti‑PD‑1 combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte to-monocyte ratio(LMR), platelet-tolycky ratio (PLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) to predict pathological response to anti-PD-1 plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and cutoff values of these parameters were all determined by ROC curve analysis.

TL;DR: Preoperative chemoradiotherapy improved survival among patients with potentially curable esophageal or esophagogastric-junction cancer and the regimen was associated with acceptable adverse-event rates.
