Brief summary: Esophageal cancer is still a serious threat to human life and health. China in particular. Relapse and metastasis are important causes of treatment failure. Immunotherapy is a new treatment method, which can be used in combination with chemotherapy to improve the therapeutic effect. However, the role of immunotherapy combined with chemoradiotherapy in concurrent chemoradiotherapy of recurrent esophageal cancer has not been clearly studied. Our team will study it in detail.

The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the effect of Camrelizumab in concurrent chemoradiotherapy of locally recurrent esophageal cancer.

Detailed description: In this study, patients with local recurrence of esophageal carcinoma without distant metastasis were randomly divided into experimental group and control group by Block randomization. In the experimental group, patients with local recurrence were treated with Camrelizumab combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Followed up for 3 years to observe the objective remission rate and disease-free survival. In the control group, patients with local recurrence were treated with placebo combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Followed up for 3 years to observe the objective remission rate and disease-free survival.

Patients whose imaging has shown that the tumor has invaded the important blood vessels or the investigator judges that the tumor is likely to invade the important blood vessels and cause fatal hemorrhage during the follow-up study; 10. Pregnant or lactating women; 11. Patients with other malignant tumors within 5 years (except basal cell carcinoma of the skin and cervical carcinoma in situ); 12. Patients with a history of psychotropic substance abuse who are unable to quit or have mental disorders; 13. Patients who have participated in clinical trials of other drugs within four weeks; 14. According to the judgment of the investigator, there are patients with concomitant diseases that seriously endanger the safety of the patient or affect the completion of the study; 15. The investigator considers it unsuitable for inclusion.
