Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This phase II clinical study is designed to evaluate the 1 year local tumor control rates after the targeted therapy of intensity-modulated radiation therapy synchronized chemotherapy with nimotuzumab combined with S-1 in local advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinomas based on Nutritional Risk Screening NRS2002.
