Although patients with stage pT_2-3N₀M₀thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma are staged earlier， their postoperative local recurrence and distant metastasis rates are higher， resulting in a low five-year survival rate of such patients. The current neoadjuvant treatment for such patients is still in the research stage， and whether to give adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery is still controversial. In addition， the prognostic factors of patients with pT_2-3N₀M₀thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma have not yet been clarified， and the causes of recurrence and metastasis are not yet clear. Therefore， it is of great significance to clarify treatment strategies and explore the impact of prognostic factors on improving the survival rate of such patients， which is expected to provide new directions for improving the prognosis and survival rate of patients with pT_2-3N₀M₀thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
