Brief Summary

This study uses a prospective cohort design.Subjects are randomly divided into three groups (A, B, C) before surgery. Group A gets 3 cycles of sintilimab + chemo, Group B gets 2 cycles + 1 cycle, and Group C gets 1 cycle + 2 cycles.

Non-squamous NSCLC subjects receive pemetrexed/albumin paclitaxel + platinum, while squamous NSCLC subjects get albumin paclitaxel + platinum.

Detailed Description

This study adopts a prospective cohort study design.The subjects will be randomly divided into three groups according to the ratio of 1:1:1 prior to surgery: group A, group B and group C. The subjects in group A will receive 3 cycles of sintilimab plus platinum-based chemotherapy, group B will receive 2 cycles of sintilimab plus platinum-based chemotherapy plus 1 cycle of sintilimab, and group C will receive 1 cycle of sintilimab plus platinum-based chemotherapy plus 2 cycles of sintilimab. Non-squamous NSCLC subjects will receive pemetrexed/albumin paclitaxel and platinum (cisplatin/carboplatin), and squamous NSCLC subjects will receive albumin paclitaxel and platinum (cisplatin / carboplatin).
