1. To explore tissue-based biomarkers to select patients who do not respond to neoadjuvant immunotherapy (non-responders) at the point of diagnosis 2. To explore blood-based non-invasive biomarkers to predict pathological complete response (pCR) before surgery
1. Construction of a neoadjuvant chemoimmuntherapy cohort of resectable stage 2-3 lung cancer patients and acquisition of clinical-pathological-radiological data. 2. Plasma from individual patient will be collected at preneoadjuvant and postneoadjuvant stages and ctDNA analysis will be performed.

RECRUITINGPathologic response after surgery, assessed according to IASLC pathologic response criteria, including major pathologic response and pathologic complete response in resected specimens following neoadjuvant CIT.
Pathologic response after surgery will be assessed according to the IASLC pathologic response criteria in resected tumor specimens following neoadjuvant CIT. Pathologic Complete Response (pCR): No residual viable tumor cells (0% viable tumor). Major Pathologic Response (MPR): ≤10% residual viable tumor cells. Evaluation Method: Pathologic response will be determined by histopathological examination of the resected tumor tissue, with tumor regression grading based on hematoxylin and eosin (H\&E) staining.
Time frame: Within the first 30 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery
Progression-free survival
Defined as time from initiation of neoadjuvant therapy to first disease recurrence or death (whichever occurred first), assessed up to 36 months. Recurrence was defined as a diagnosis of metastatic disease, new locoregional disease, or any additional treatments for NSCLC after a 90-day treatment-free interval (to indicate the end of primary treatment and serve as a proxy for disease-free state postsurgery) starting right after initial surgery.
Time frame: Defined as time from initiation of neoadjuvant therapy to first disease recurrence or death (whichever occurred first), assessed up to 36 months
