- Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a major type of esophageal cancer.
- Immunotherapy, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), shows significant efficacy in advanced ESCC.
- The tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) heterogeneity affects immunotherapy outcomes and tumor behavior.
- Understanding TIME interactions and reshaping it with ICIs could offer new treatment opportunities.
- The review discusses TIME characteristics and immunopredictive models to improve ESCC immunotherapy.
