Summary

This prospective observational study aims to characterize dynamic changes in the tumor microenvironment of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma receiving standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy followed by surgical resection. Paired tumor tissue samples will be collected before treatment and at surgery, and peripheral blood samples may also be collected when feasible. Single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics will be used to evaluate changes in cellular composition, transcriptional states, and spatial organization within the tumor microenvironment and to explore their associations with pathological response.

Biological: Tumor Tissue and Blood Sample Collection

Tumor tissue samples will be collected at baseline before treatment and again at the time of surgical resection. Peripheral blood samples may also be collected when feasible. Collected biospecimens will be used for single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and related molecular analyses to evaluate dynamic changes in the tumor microenvironment associated with treatment response.
