About this trial
Exploring the efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab combined with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) as neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Pathologically confirmed, initially treated, surgically resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Clinical stage III to IVB (AJCC 8th edition), except HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer
Following multidisciplinary discussions involving otolaryngologists and radiation oncologists, the assessment concluded that the tumor is resectable or marginally resectable and suitable for preoperative SBRT
Karnofsky Performance Status score ≥ 70
Disqualifiers
Patients previously treated with head and neck surgery were excluded from diagnostic biopsies of primary and regional lymph nodes

pCR is defined as the absence of viable tumor cells in the postoperative specimen.
Number of Participants with downstaging in Clinical Pathological Staging as assessed by the AJCC 8th Edition Staging System
Utilization of the AJCC 8th Edition Staging System for Downstaging from Clinical to Pathological Staging
Median Progression-Free Survival
The time corresponding to a cumulative progression-free survival rate of 50%
Median Overall Survival
The time corresponding to a cumulative overall survival rate of 50%. Survival rate is defined as the time from the initiation of the first treatment to death from any cause.
