Core Tip	Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most aggressive malignant diseases. While surgical resection remains the dominant therapeutic intervention for patients with operable ESCC, alternative strategies are actively sought to reduce the frequency of post-operative local or distant disease recurrence. Such strategies are particularly sought in the preoperative setting. This review discusses the current knowledge, available data and information regarding neoadjuvant treatment for operable ESCC.
