Given the feasibility of induction chemotherapy in oral cancer and the encouraging remission rates achieved, we explore the clinical application prospects of using tislelizumab in combination with traditional standard chemotherapy as induction treatment in oral cancer patients who have no radiological evidence of mandibular erosion but require mandibulectomy due to the tumor's proximity to the mandible, aiming to shrink tumor size and increase the rate of mandible preservation. Therefore, we propose to conduct a prospective, single-arm, single-center phase II exploratory clinical trial: we plan to select patients with locally advanced resectable primary oral squamous cell carcinoma T3-4N0-3M0 (stages III-IVb, excluding T1-2) after multidisciplinary consultation and assessment by imaging and clinical evaluation. We aim to explore the feasibility of a three-week treatment regimen combining tislelizumab with polyaletin paclitaxel and a platinum-based triplet, preliminarily assess its clinical efficacy, adverse reactions, and postoperative mandible preservation rate, to provide the best comprehensive treatment plan for the preservation rate of the mandible in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
