Adjuvant therapy was started within 6 weeks after surgery:Patients who achieved MPR after surgery were randomized 1:1 with standard adjuvant therapy(RT alone or combined with cisplatin) and Alternative adjuvant therapy(RT alone or combined with Penpulimab). Non-MPR patients receive standard adjuvant therapy

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Major pathological response(MPR)One year

Major pathologic response is based on the pathological examination on the post-operative specimens.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Response Rate (ORR)Baseline up to 3 years.

The proportion of subjects who achieves a best overall response of CR or PR.

Local recurrence-free survival at 2years(LRFS at 2 years)Baseline up to 2 years.

The proportion of subjects local recurrence-free survival at 2years

Adverse event rateBaseline up to 3 years.

The occurrence of all adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and treatment-related adverse events (TEAEs).

Disease-free survival at 2 years(DFS at 2 years)Baseline up to 2 years.

The proportion of subjects disease-free survival at 2 years

distant metastasis-free survival at 2 years(DMFS at 2 years)Baseline up to 2 years.

The proportion of subjects distant metastasis-free survival at 2years

Disease-control Rate(DCR)Baseline up to 3 years.

The proportion of subjects response of CR, PR, or SD (subjects achieving SD will be included in the DCR if they maintain SD for ≥4 weeks).

pathologic complete response(pCR)One year

Pathological examination showed the presence of 0% active tumor in the tissue specimen

OS at 2 yearsBaseline up to 2 years.

The overall survival time refers to the time from initiating inductive therapy to death due to any cause.
