4. Expected survival \> 3 months,
5. ECOG PS score: 0-1,
6. No peritoneal metastasis or other distant metastasis; Note: the presence of distant metastasis should be confirmed by CT or MR scan. If bone metastasis is suspected, a bone scan should be performed. If peritoneal metastasis is suspected, PET-CT should be performed or laparoscopy should be performed.

Women of childbearing potential must undergo a negative pregnancy test (βHCG) prior to initiation of treatment, and women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active with women of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception uninterruptedly for the duration of the treatment period and for 6 months after the administration of the last therapeutic dose, 10.

2. Tumours that are expected to be unresectable after neoadjuvant therapy,
3. Pregnant or lactating women, or those of childbearing potential who refuse to use contraception,
4. History of other malignancies within the past 5 years, except adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix or squamous carcinoma of the skin, or basal cell carcinoma of the skin that has been substantially controlled,
5. Ineffectively controlled, symptomatic brain metastases or a history of psychosis that cannot be easily controlled or severe intellectual or cognitive dysfunction,
6. Pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial pneumonitis, pneumoconiosis, radiation pneumonitis, drug-associated pneumonitis and severely impaired lung function,
7. Subjects with active, known or suspected autoimmune disease, hypothyroidism requiring only hormone replacement therapy, skin disorders that do not require systemic therapy (e.g., vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia areata) may be eligible for enrolment,
8. Congestive heart failure, difficult-to-control cardiac arrhythmia, myocardial infarction within 6 months, unstable angina, stroke or transient is chaemic attack, severe hypertension difficult to control with medication, or other patients who cannot tolerate the procedure,
