Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can reinvigorate T cells and activate the immune system to eliminate cancer cells. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a malignancy with a poor prognosis. The roles of ICIs for HNSCC treatments are emerging. Method We reviewed the study results of Programmed-Death 1 (PD-1) and PD-ligand-1 (PD-L1) monoclonal antibodies for HNSCC. The ongoing trials of anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 were also reviewed. Results Nivolumab showed a significant overall survival benefit in platinum-refractory HNSCC patients. For platinum-sensitive or first-line patients, pembrolizumab monotherapy (patients with PD-L1 Combined Positive Score >= 20) or pembrolizumab-platinum-fluorouracil improved overall survival vs the EXTREME (cetuximab-platinum-fluorouracil). Many HNSCC studies have combined anti-PD1/PD-L1 therapy with various anticancer agents or radiotherapy to improve treatment efficacy. Conclusion ICIs demonstrate their efficacies for R/M HNSCC patients. The incorporation of ICIs showed a great impact on the treatment landscape of HNSCC.
