Experiment group
This is a prospective, single-arm, phase 1 trial. A total of 18 unresectable LA-ESCC patients are required to be enrolled. Induction chemo-immunotherapy All patients receive 2-3 cycles of Abraxane 260mg/m2 d1+cisplatin 60mg/m2 d1+Toripalimab 240mg d1. Hypo-CCRT Evaluation will be performed three weeks after the induction chemo-immunotherapy, LA-ESCC patients without disease progression will continue the split-course hypo-CCRT treatment. Split-course hypo-CCRT is administered at the following three dose levels: Level 1: DT 3000cGy/10 daily fractions/300cGy in the first course, DT 2000cGy/10 daily fractions/200cGy in the second course; Level 2: DT 2800cGy/7 daily fractions/400cGy in the first course, DT 2200cGy/10 daily fractions/220cGy in the second course; Level 3: DT 2500cGy/5 daily fractions/500cGy in the first course, DT 2500cGy10 daily fractions/250cGy in the second course.
