The optimal approach to locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LAHNSCC) treatment remains controversial. For non-resectable LAHNSCC, the clinical interest of induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) or radiotherapy has been questioned. With the approval of immunotherapy and targeted therapy for this disease, treatment options have become more complex. Although new trial data have appeared every year, the results are still inconclusive. In this review, we provide readers with information on new strategies for LAHNSCC induction therapy, which will facilitate evidence-based decision making in LAHNSCC treatment.
