Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0-1. No prior systemic treatment for esophageal cancer (including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors such as anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 antibodies, anti-CTLA-4 antibodies, etc.). Planned surgical treatment after completion of neoadjuvant therapy. Expected survival time of at least 6 months. Clearly measurable lesions that meet the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Adequate organ function based on laboratory values obtained during the screening period, including: 1) Hematology: no blood transfusions or blood products within 14 days, no use of G-CSF or other hematopoietic growth factors for correction, white blood cell count (WBC) ≥ 3.0 × 109/L, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 109/L, platelet count (PLT) ≥ 75 × 109/L, hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9 g/dL. 2) Blood chemistry: serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN), aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase ≤ 2.5 × ULN (≤ 5 × ULN for patients with liver metastasis), serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN. 3) Coagulation function: prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN. 4) Cardiac function: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50%. 11. Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 3 days before starting study drug and agree to use a medically accepted highly effective method of contraception (such as an intrauterine device, contraceptive pills, or condoms) during the study period and within 3 months after the last dose of study drug. Male participants with partners of childbearing potential must have undergone surgical sterilization or agree to use an effective method of contraception during the study period and within 3 months after the last dose of study drug. Exclusion Criteria: History of or concurrent active malignancy other than adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in situ cancer or other malignancy with no evidence of disease for at least 5 years. Active bleeding within 3 months; a history of arterial or venous thrombotic events within 6 months, such as stroke (including transient ischemic attack), deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism; known inherited or acquired bleeding diathesis (e.g., coagulation factor deficiencies) or thrombotic disorders, such as patients with hemophilia; current or recent (within 10 days before the start of the study treatment) use of full-dose oral or parenteral anticoagulants or thrombolytic agents for therapeutic purposes (allowed prophylactic use of low-dose aspirin and low-molecular-weight heparin); major surgery (excluding biopsy) within 4 weeks before starting study drug treatment or the surgical incision has not fully healed; current or recent (within 10 days before the start of the study treatment) use of aspirin (> 325 mg/day [maximum antiplatelet dose]) or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, dual antiplatelet therapy, clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor, or cilostazol. The patient has received systemic treatment, surgery, or radiotherapy for esophageal cancer, including immunotherapy such as anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 antibodies, anti-CTLA-4 antibodies, targeted therapy, or chemotherapy. The patient has used systemic corticosteroids or other systemic immunosuppressive drugs within 2 weeks before treatment, or is expected to use systemic immunosuppressive drugs during the trial. The use of inhaled glucocorticoids or physiological replacement doses of glucocorticoids is allowed. The patient has active autoimmune diseases. Patients with type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism requiring replacement therapy only, skin diseases (such as vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia) that do not require systemic treatment or are not expected to recur without external triggering factors can be included in the trial. The patient has known active tuberculosis, is receiving anti-tuberculosis treatment, or has received anti-tuberculosis treatment within 1 year prior to the first dose. The patient has severe, uncontrolled systemic diseases, such as refractory hypertension, severe active infection, etc. The patient has known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or is known to be HIV-seropositive. Untreated chronic hepatitis B or active carriers of hepatitis B virus (HBV) (HBV DNA >500 IU/mL) or active carriers of HCV detectable by HCV RNA. Note: Inactive carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or stable patients with treated chronic hepatitis B (HBV DNA < 500 IU/mL) can be included in the study. History of interstitial lung disease, drug-induced interstitial lung disease, radiation pneumonitis, or symptomatic interstitial lung disease, or active pneumonia detected by chest CT scan within 4 weeks prior to initial drug treatment in the study. Known symptomatic, untreated, or progressively advancing central nervous system (CNS) or leptomeningeal metastases. Known allergy to any investigational drug or excipient. Participation in other drug clinical trials within 4 weeks before enrollment. Breastfeeding women. As judged by the investigator, the patient has other factors that may affect the study results or may cause premature termination of the study, such as alcoholism, drug abuse, other serious illnesses (including mental illness) requiring concomitant treatment, significant laboratory abnormalities, or family or social factors that may affect the patient's safety.
