- description
- Patients will receive induction chemotherapy with gemcitabine (1g/m2, d1 \& 8 of every cycle) and cisplatin (80mg/m2, d1 of every cycle), every 3 weeks for 3 cycles before radiation. Definitive intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) of 6996cGy in 33 fractions will be given. Concurrent cisplatin of 100mg/m2 will be administered every 3 weeks for 2 cycles during IMRT. Cadonilimab 10mg/kg will be given every 3 weeks for 3 cycles in induction chemotherapy and for 14 cycles in adjuvant chemotherapy, started on day 1 of induction chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy, respectively.

Has any condition that required systemic corticosteroid (equivalent to prednisone \>10mg/d) or other immunosuppressive therapy within 28 days before informed consent. Patients received systemic corticosteroid equivalent to prednisone ≤10mg/d, inhale or topical corticosteroid will be allowed. 6.
