Core Tip
Core Tip: Esophageal carcinoma (EC) is a common and fatal digestive tract tumor, and the current therapeutic methods such as surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have limited effects and are accompanied by relatively serious adverse events. Therefore, clinical exploration of new treatment strategies for esophageal cancer should be continued to optimize the management of EC patients.
