Conditions
Summary
The incidence and mortality of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma are among the highest in China, and most patients are diagnosed in the middle and late stages. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for unresectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The 5-year formation rate of advanced esophageal cancer is less than 20%. Immunotherapy for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma has definite efficacy and low toxicity, and the results of combined radiotherapy have also been preliminarily reported. Combined immunotherapy after chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer is a feasible combination program. But immunotherapy still lacks ideal biomarkers to screen people for advantage. ctDAN status can accurately guide treatment implementation and predict tumor progression. Studies have shown that ctDNA changes are earlier than imaging findings of recurrence or metastasis, and ctNDA detection can sensitively predict tumor progression and prognosis. Therefore, it is necessary to dynamically monitor the changes of ctDNA in immunoconsolidation therapy after radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy for esophageal cancer, and explore its correlation with the curative effect and prognosis of radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy for esophageal cancer.

Exclusion Criteria1

A history of malignant tumors other than esophageal cancer in the past 5 years (excluding cured local tumors such as cervical carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma, and prostate carcinoma in situ); 4.

Interventions
dynamically monitor the changes of ctDNA in patients with esophageal cancer Radiation: Radiotherapy 95% PTV50-50.4Gy/25-28fractions, 1.8-2Gy/1 fractions; 5 days a week; 6 weeks. Chemotherapy:weekly paclitaxel (50mg/m²) in combination with carboplatin (AUC=2) chemotherapy, a total of 4-5 cycles. Other Names: Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) Drug: Toripalimab Toripalimab (240 mg, intravenously infused) will be administered as the maintenance treatment every 3 weeks within 4 weeks after the completion of radiotherapy for 1 years or until progression, intolerable toxicity, or physician/patient decision Other Names: Immunotherapy ctDNA detection: The first tissue and blood ctDNA test (T0) before treatment is based on next generation sequencing (NGS) technology, and ctDNA test is based on tumor- prior analysis informed assays method. Blood ctDNA testing after chemoradiotherapy was performed every 3 months
