Abstract

Our real-world experience reinforces the durability and effectiveness of pembrolizumab for HNC patients. Additionally, our results suggest that pembrolizumab with chemotherapy might be recommended for patients with distant metastasis and no prior treatment. Further studies are needed to determine the optimal treatment strategy for HNC.
