Long-survival of a patient with esophageal cancer benefited from comprehensive treatment and MDT: a case report

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are emerging as important drugs for patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer (EC). Yet, immune-related adverse events (irAEs) may be a major obstacle for these population. Multidisciplinary team (MDT) is an efficient way to deal with such conditions. The aim of this study is to report a case of a stage III esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patient who achieved long-term survival through comprehensive treatment and MDT management, despite multiple irAEs.
