Antibody-Drug Conjugates in the Treatment of Esophageal Cancer.

Esophageal cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide, with particularly poor outcomes following disease progression after first-line chemoimmunotherapy. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a transformative therapeutic class that combines the targeting precision of monoclonal antibodies with potent cytotoxic payloads, en.
