  • Ability and willingness to follow research and follow-up procedures
  • Men and women of childbearing age must agree to adequate contraception throughout the study period and within 6 months after treatment
  • The subjects volunteered to join the clinical study and signed informed consent, good compliance and follow-up
Exclusion Criteria
  • 1.Have received any systemic anti-tumor therapy against the target lesion
  • Previous experience in head and neck radiotherapy
  • Previous immunotherapies including anti PD-1/PD-L1, anti CTLA-4, etc
  • Subjects who received anti-tumor vaccines or other immunomodulatory drugs (e.g. interleukin-2, thymosin, Lentinus edodes polysaccharide, etc.) within 1 month prior to joining the group, or who received live attenuated vaccines
  • Subjects who had been systematically treated with corticosteroids (prednisone or other equivalent hormones >10 mg/ days) or other immunosuppressants within 1 month of entry. To allow inhaled or local use of corticosteroids in the absence of active autoimmune disease, as well as adrenocorticotropic replacement therapy ≤10 days mg/ dose of prednisone
  • Pleural effusions, pericardial effusions or ascites requiring drainage, or serosal effusions for treatment within 2 weeks prior to group entry
