Chemotherapy plus immunotherapy has become the standard first-line treatment of advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but median duration of response is only 7.0-8.3 months and progression-free survival (PFS, ∼6 months) is still far from satisfactory. We aim to evaluate whether early involvement of radiotherapy might improve the treatment outcome if objective response to first-line chemo-immunotherapy was observed in locally advanced or metastatic ESCC.
