Targeted drugs plus chemo before surgery for esophageal cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (nimotuzumab and camrelizumab) plus standard chemotherapy before surgery for people with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
