Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the treatment of several solid cancers, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). First approved for second-line settings, ICIs are now used for the first-line treatment of HNSCCs, mainly in combination with standard chemotherapy. This review focuses on the results of the main phase III studies evaluating ICIs in recurrent or metastatic HNSCCs. The efficacy and indications according to the PD-L1 status, the main predictive biomarker, are discussed. The results of trials assessing ICI efficacy for locally advanced disease, including the neoadjuvant setting are also discussed. Finally, therapeutic combinations that are potential treatments for HNSCCs, including ICIs and targeted therapies such as anti-EGFR agents, are presented.
期刊介绍：
Many aspects of the immune system and mechanisms of immunomodulatory therapies remain to be elucidated in order to exploit fully the emerging opportunities. Those involved in the research and clinical applications of immunotherapy are challenged by the huge and intricate volumes of knowledge arising from this fast-evolving field. The journal Immunotherapy offers the scientific community an interdisciplinary forum, providing them with information on the most recent advances of various aspects of immunotherapies, in a concise format to aid navigation of this complex field.
Immunotherapy delivers essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative but accessible forum for this vitally important area of research. Unsolicited article proposals are welcomed and authors are required to comply fully with the journal''s Disclosure & Conflict of Interest Policy as well as major publishing guidelines, including ICMJE and GPP3.
