Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
neoadjuvant chemo-hypofractionated radiotherapy plus PD-1 antibody
Immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy (2 cycles): Intravenous tislelizumab (200mg, d1, q21d) in combination with XELOX regimen (capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 bid*14d + oxaliplatin 130mg/m2, d1, q21d); Concurrent radiotherapy: Within one week after the first initiation of chemo-immunotherapy, concurrent hypofractionated radiotherapy will be started: intensity modulated radiotherapy was given for tumors, total dose:30Gy/12f, 2.5Gy/f. D2 resection will be received three to five weeks after the completion of neoadjuvant therapy.
