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 volunteers

Qualifiers

Pathologically confirmed, initially treated, surgically resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

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

Previous chemotherapy for any reason, or radiotherapy in the head and neck area, or molecular targeted drug therapy; Previously received anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2 and other drugs or drugs acting on another irritating or co-inhibitory T cell receptor (such as CTLA-4, OX 40, CD137) treatment, or cell biotherapy
