Prognostic Stratification of Adjuvant Immunotherapy After Neoadjuvant Chemoimmunotherapy and Quality Surgery in LA-ESCC.

Some advanced esophageal cancer patients benefit significantly from additional immunotherapy after surgery, helping doctors decide who needs it most.

This multicenter observational cohort study examined prognostic stratification of adjuvant immunotherapy after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy and quality surgery in la-escc. The abstract reports that among LA-ESCC patients receiving NCIT and high-quality surgery, adjuvant immunotherapy significantly improves 3-year DFS in the non-MPR/ypN+ subgroup, with no significant benefit in other subgroups.
