Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy before surgery for esophageal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a new immunotherapy drug (ivonescimab) along with standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with resectable esophageal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and increase the chance of successful surgery.
