Local Therapy for Oligorecurrent and Oligometastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with oligometastatic diseases and pathologically confirmed esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after initial radical treatment \[i.e., completely resected surgery or radical (chemo)radiotherapy\], the primary esophageal sites are controlled. Note: 1. Definition of metastasis: patients with distant organ metastases or non-regional lymph node metastases; or patients with distant organs/non-regional lymph node metastases and regional lymph node metastases as defined in the eighth edition of the AJCC. Patients with only regional lymph node metastasis and/or anastomotic/esophageal recurrence are not eligible for enrollment. 2. According to the classification of oligometastatic disease, oligometastasis including synchronous oligometastasis, metachronous oligometastasis, and repeat oligometastasis could be enrolled in this trial. 3. In visceral metastases or non-regional lymph node metastases, at least one metastatic lesion obtains pathological confirmation. 2. The total number of metastases is 4 or less and maximum 3 metastases in any single organ system (i.e. lung, liver). The maximum diameter for each lesion should be no more than 5 cm. 1. Each lesion was counted separately at the time of registration and contributed to the total number of metastases.If regional recurrences are existed, all positive regional lymph nodes are count together as one lesion. For non-regional lymph node metastases, adjacent metastatic lymph nodes can be treated as one lesion. 2. Lesions that have subsided during previous treatment (i.e., were no longer visible on CT or had eliminated affinity on PET-CT) are not included in the total number. For patients with synchronous oligometastasis, the controlled primary tumor and regional lymph nodes on imaging are counted toward the total of 4. 3. All metastases of current diagnosis did not receive local treatment such as radiotherapy, surgery, radiofrequency ablation before enrollment. 4. Previous chemotherapy was allowed, but no anti-tumor medication was received within 3 months prior to the start of treatment. 5. The measurable lesion was determined by the investigator based on the RECIST 1.1 assessment. A lesion located in a previous radiotherapy area can be considered a target lesion if it is confirmed to progress and is considered to be measurable according to RECIST 1.1. 6. The patient is over 18 years old and has an ECOG score of 0-1. 7. Estimated survival time \>12 weeks. 8. The function of vital organs meets the following requirements: 1. Neutrophil absolute count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10\^9 / L 2. platelets ≥ 100 × 10\^9 / L; 3. Hemoglobin ≥ 9g / dL; 4. serum albumin ≥ 2.8g / dL; 5. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN, ALT, AST and / or AKP ≤ 2.5 × ULN; if there is liver metastasis, ALT and / or AST ≤ 5 × ULN; if there is liver metastasis or bone metastasis AKP ≤ 5 × ULN; 6. serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or creatinine clearance \> 60 mL / min; 7. For patients with pulmonary lesions or previous lung irradiation who are known or suspected to have impaired lung function, the forced expiratory volume (FEV1) for 1 second of lung function must be above 1L. 9. Female subjects of childbearing age must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to randomization. Subjects agreed to adequate contraception during the trial. 10. The patient is voluntarily enrolled and obtained the informed consent form signed by the patient or his legal representative. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Primary tumor of esophagus is confirmed uncontrolled or progressive by imaging or gastroscope,or any esophageal or nodal recurrence locates in the previous radiation field. 2. The pathological diagnosis of any metastatic lesion is clearly different from the primary tumor or diagnosed as a second primary tumor. 3. Patients participated in any investigational drug study within 4 weeks preceding the start of treatment. 4. If there is a metastasis within 3 months after definitive treatment, or the number of metastases is more than 4. 5. Patients with uncontrolled brain metastases, or vertebral body metastasis with spinal cord compression symptoms. 6. The toxicity of previous anti-tumor treatment has not recovered to ≤ National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 level 1 (except for hair loss) or the level specified by the inclusion/exclusion criteria. 7. Patients with uncontrolled pleural, pericardial or pelvic effusion that requires repeated drainage. 8. Patients who have received chemotherapy, anti-tumor medication, major surgery or severe trauma within 3 months before enrollment. 9. Pregnant or breastfeeding women. 10. Patients with history of immunodeficiency, or severe medical diseases that are not well controlled, which may have effect on the treatment of this study. 11. Any other malignant tumor was diagnosed within 5 years prior to or after the diagnosis of ESCC, except for malignant tumors with a low risk of metastasis and death (5-year survival rate \>90%), such as well-treated basal cells or squamous cell skin cancer or cervical cancer in situ. 12. The investigator judged that patients could not cooperate with the treatment, or have other factors that might cause him to be forced to terminate the study.
