Rechallenge with immune checkpoint inhibitors for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Despite the widespread use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in cancer treatment, disease progression remains common in the majority of patients and subsequent therapeutic options for this population are limited. ICI rechallenge has been validated favorably in terms of efficacy and safety in many cancer types, while data in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are still lacking.
