Core Tip In this investigation, we comprehensively characterized the dynamic changes in the immune microenvironment during treatment by analyzing single-cell RNA sequencing data of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. LGALS1 was found to be a gene associated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy resistance in ESCC. Subsequent experimental validation demonstrated LGALS1’s contribution to cisplatin resistance in ESCC through both in vitro and in vivo investigations. These studies illustrate ESCC cisplatin drug treatment failure mechanisms, emphasized the LGALS1 can serve as a promising therapeutic target. It also reveals a potential strategy to overcome the development of cisplatin resistance in ESCC, laying a foundation for the development of more effective individualized treatment regimens, and potentially leading to better outcomes for patients with advanced esophageal cancer.
