Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- 1) Age ≥18 years old and ≤75 years old; 2) Patients with stage I~III thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma diagnosed by histopathological examination (excluding mixed adenosquamous carcinoma and other pathological types); 3) ECOG PS score is 0 or 1; 4) According to RECIST v1.1 version, there is at least one measurable lesion; 5) It has sufficient organ and bone marrow function, defined as follows: 6) Blood routine: absolute neutrophil count (ANC)≥1.5×109/L; platelet count (PLT)≥100×109/L; hemoglobin content (HGB)≥9.0 g/dL.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of sintilimab combined with concurrent chemotherapy as a neoadjuvant treatment for patients with operable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It will also evaluate the changes in the immune microenvironment of tumor specimens before and after the medication, and predict the operable period (stage I~III) Patients with thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody, and the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody was evaluated by detecting the changes of microbial diversity and metabolites in stool samples before and after treatment.
