Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy: 1. Radiation dose: 1.8Gy/Fx, DT41.4Gy/23Fx. 2. Concurrent chemotherapy: Albumin-bound paclitaxel 60mg/m² + Cisplatin 25mg/m² on D1, D8, D15, D22, D29.
Begins on the second day after the completion of concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and no later than one week. Toripalimab 240mg Q3W, for a total of two cycles.
Preoperative assessment is conducted 3 weeks after the last neoadjuvant immunotherapy, and surgery is performed within 4-6 weeks. All patients undergo minimally invasive radical esophagectomy, either McKeown or Ivor-Lewis, with extended two-field or three-field lymph node dissection.
