Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Pathologically confirmed WHO type II or III recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma; 2.

Cervical lymph node: tumor infiltration of cervical spine, brachial plexus nerve, internal carotid artery; When the distance between the tumor and the internal carotid artery is less than 1cm, sufficient tumor resection margins cannot be guaranteed. b. Not suitable for radiotherapy: the recurrence time is less than 12 months from the end of the first radiotherapy; Patients with recurrent nasopharyngeal and necrosis; Tumor invasion of cavernous sinus, carotid sheath area or associated with internal carotid aneurysm; Recurrent cervical lymph node infiltration or encircling the internal carotid artery; Patients who cannot tolerate or refuse secondary radiation therapy; 3. Life expectancy >= 12 weeks; 4. Initial treatment adopted radical radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy; 5. Without the history of the other malignancy; 6. Aged 18–70 years old regardless of sex; 7. For hepatitis B (HBsAg positive) patients, HBV DNA = 70; 9. Female of child bearing potential, a negative urine or serum pregnancy test result within 7 days before study treatment. Participants of reproductive potential must be willing to use adequate contraception for the course of the study through 6 months after the last dose of Sintilimab; 10. Normal renal and hepatic function: ALT and AST = 60 mL/min; Adequate bone marrow function: absolute white blood cell count >= 4.0 * 10^9/L, neutrophil >= 2.0 * 10^9/L, hemoglobin >= 90 g/L, platelets >= 100 * 10^9/L); 11. Written informed consent with exact date obtained from the individual patients before certain proposed step.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Detection of distant metastasis before treatment; 2. Allergy to monoclonal antibodies or any compound of study therapy; 3.

Received systemic immunostimulatory drugs (including but not limited to interferon or IL-2) within 4 weeks before enrollment or 5 half-lives of the drug; 7. Concurrent medical condition requiring the use of cortisol ( > 10mg/day Prednisone or equivalent dose) or other systematic immunosuppressive medications within 14 days before the study treatment. Except the following: inhalation or topical corticosteroids; 8. Previous bone marrow transplantation or organ transplantation; 9. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, drug-induced pneumonia, organized pneumonia, idiopathic pneumonia or other active pneumonia; 10. Received a live vaccine within 4 weeks of enrollment; 11.

Conditions that may adversely affect pharmacokinetics: such as psychiatric disorders, central nervous system disorders, chronic diarrhea, ascites and hydrothorax; 20.
