Biomarkers of Stage III Locally Advanced Unresectable Non-small-cell Lung Cancer

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study aims to dynamically monitor the expression profile status of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and the changes in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levels in patients with stage III locally advanced unresectable non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC) after concurrent chemoradiotherapy or sequential chemoradiotherapy, and to explore biomarkers related to the immune microenvironment and the optimal time point for immunotherapy after chemoradiotherapy.
