Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients voluntarily participate in this study, sign informed consent, have good compliance, and cooperate with follow-up; 2. Age 18-75 years old, including 18 and 75 years old, male or female; 3. Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck confirmed by histopathology; 4. ECOG: 0~1 point; 5. Refer to the 8th edition of AJCC staging for staging. The clinical stage was stage III~IV, and there were no patients with distant metastases; 6. The function of vital organs meets the following requirements (no blood components and cell growth factors are allowed to be used 2 weeks before the start of the screening examination): a. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >=1.5×10^9/L; b. Platelet >=100×10^9/L; c. Hemoglobin >=9g/dL; d. Serum albumin >=2.8g/dL; Total bilirubin =60mL/min (calculated according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula); g. International normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) <=1.5× ULN (for anticoagulant therapy at stable doses, such as low molecular weight heparin or warfarin, and INR is within the expected therapeutic range of anticoagulants, it can be screened); 7. Female subjects of childbearing potential should have a urine or serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study drug and be certified negative, and willing to use an effective method of contraception during the trial period and for 6 months after the last dose. For male participants whose partner is a woman of childbearing age, an effective method of contraception should be used during the trial and for 6 months after the last dose.

Renal insufficiency: urine routine shows that urine protein > = , or confirmed 24-hour urine protein volume > = 1.0g; 11. Grade I myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction, arrhythmia (including QTc >=480ms) and >=grade 2 congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification) within 6 months prior to enrollment; 12. Diagnosed with other malignant tumors within 3 years prior to enrollment; 13. Patients with any severe and/or uncontrolled disease, including: a) Patients with unsatisfactory blood pressure control (systolic blood pressure >=150 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >=100 mmHg); Patients with grade I myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction, arrhythmias (including QT interval >=430 ms) and grade I cardiac insufficiency (New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function class); b) Active or uncontrolled severe infection; c) Such as cirrhosis, decompensated liver disease, active hepatitis HBV or HCV; d) poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (fasting blood glucose (FB
