Intervention

Drug:
• Penpulimab Combined With CRT
Penpulimab: 200mg, intravenous infusion, once every two weeks. After completing two courses of CRT, continue to send Penpulimab 200mg every two weeks on the first and 14th days after the completion of CRT, two courses of treatment, a total of four courses. Radiotherapy 40gy/20fx, once a day from Monday to Friday, completed in 4 weeks; PC regimen: Paclitaxel 50mg/m2, intravenous drip, carboplatin AUC=2mg/ml/min, intravenous drip, once a week during radiotherapy, a total of 4 courses, the specific time is D1, 8, 15, 22 days after the beginning of radiotherapy. Gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea and vomiting should be routinely prevented before chemotherapy. Dexamethasone 10mg should be used 30 ~ 60 minutes before paclitaxel, and intramuscular injection should be stopped immediately in case of drug or infusion reactions.
