Overview

Neoadjuvant immunotherapy can significantly improve the pathological complete response (pCR) and major pathological response (MPR) rates in resectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and extend the event-free survival (EFS). However, the current means for evaluating its efficacy are limited. This study aims to utilize the convenient and non-invasive 68Ga-grazytracer PET imaging to detect the aggregation of CD8+ T cells in target lesions after neoadjuvant immunotherapy for stage III NSCLC, and to assess its value in efficacy monitoring, providing valuable information for clinical treatment decisions.

3. Patient ability to comply with protocol requirements;
4. Age 18-75 years;
5. Life expectancy of at least 6 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with serious diseases that the investigator deems unsuitable for participation in the clinical study. Such as severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency, severe bone marrow suppression, severe hepatic or renal insufficiency, etc;
2. Intestinal perforation, complete intestinal obstruction;
3. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or a fasting blood glucose value of ≥11 mmol/L on the day of the test;
4. Pregnant women and women who are potentially pregnant, as well as nursing mothers;
5. Patients with poor compliance.
